Hello! and welcome the portfolio of Eddie A. Tejeda. Over the years I’ve worked closely with non-profits, educators, universities, libraries, think-tanks, start-ups, programmers, writers, and designers. I like to work on challenging projects that force us to re-imagine existing roles and institutions. I believe in rapid prototyping, open-source development, bootstrapping, collaboration, quick releases, smalls teams, debating, creative thinking, and transparency. I develop all kinds of tools using PHP, WordPress and jQuery. Some projects have even received press! (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) I live in San Francisco but spend many months out of the year in New York. Feel free to contact me at |
