About Jeremy
jeremydw / jeremy weinstein
I'm a web designer-slash-web developer living in California's Bay Area. This website, "Mediacrafters," serves as an archive of my creations (bad and good) as well as my thoughts on web-related things.
I was born in Los Angeles and grew up plugged in; and as such, after working at ResComp and graduating from the University of California at Berkeley in 2008, I started working for Google as a Webmaster in Mountain View, CA.
There's a lot of work to do to improve the internet. I believe it can help people and solve many problems, so it's my dream to contribute to its development in a meaningful way. And have fun while doing so, of course.
| When | What |
|---|---|
| 2010 Jul | Title change. Webmaster ▸ Web Developer. |
| 2008 Aug | Joined Google's Webmaster team. Working primarily on informational sites about mobile and Android, but also helping out with some systems and web app front ends. Dealing with sites in twenty-plus languages a piece. Eventually want to help develop web standards. |
| 2007 Sep | Worked for Coupa Software as a web contractor. Made the site to sell the software that solved the e-procurement problem. Learned that e-procurement was a serious problem to be solved. |
| 2007 Feb | Took on the role of Lead Marketing Coordinator at ResComp. Less technical stuff, way more coordination. Bossed two people around, but hopefully got on their good sides with sorbet. I took on a web consultant role at ResComp for a while after graduating. |
| 2005 Feb | Became Web Designer for Residential Computing at the University of California, Berkeley. Replaced Zope with handcrafted PHP templates. Made sites usable. Raised the bar. Learned table-free CSS. Made huge signage for the office. |
| 2003 | Mediacrafters! The name of this site gets created. Eric, friend slash software engineer, and I write DynamicThreads -- a full-featured forum software. We thought of all this social networking business before it got popular. Unreleased, 'cause we never finished it. |
| 2001 | Started doing web design for others as a way to make cash. Made sites for online contacts, friends of friends, and such. I learned web server administration by hosting people's pages for a monthly fee. My brand was called "Inspired Creativity" at the time. |
| 1998 | Went to ACE computer camp. Learned basic C++, basic Visual Basic, and some advanced Basic. I was twelve. Won a web design contest. Lost to Korea in the Starcraft regionals. |
| 1998 | Started a website about Starcraft, which later evolved into a website about many games made by Blizzard. Was called Shakuras.com. ("Shakuras" was the name of a planet in StarCraft's fictional world.) |
| 1997 | Started a website about a computer game called Microsoft Ants, named Ants Gamers Network. It's still online! I was the world champ. |
| 1997 | Made my first semi-successful website. It was a page about a Nintendo 64 game called Diddy Kong Racing. The site was called "Diddy Kong Racing Racer's School" and it was hosted on AOL. I made two accounts to get around the storage limit. Used FrontPage 2.0, had a Java applet chat room -- yeah! |
| 1986 Jul | Born in Los Angeles, California. |
