overview & impact
When I began Circle Innovations (CI) the Internet looked like it could fizzle out at any moment. Stagnant, sluggish, and static web pages made up a landscape that was scattered among a vast Primordial Ocean of inter(web)space. Truly exciting websites existed like treasures waiting to be found on new pristine islands in a mysterious new ocean. Macromedia (now Adobe) Flash was a glimmer of what movement and interaction the Internet could be. Back in those days when the Internet had a little “i”, a "onmouseover" effect—or what we now know as a “hover”—was a costly JavaScript endeavor. It was during those days when I hunched over my keyboard fixated on variables and functions for hours on end that I founded a web development firm together with Armando Bravo and Luis Rivera. I didn't possess a formal education or professional training, so I 'haxored' my way; I 'Jugaad' it. Every step was a hacking effort. Life for me is a 'haxoring' effort. I use up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, START, at least whenever I can in order to just catch up within our social structure
 

   A Foundation

The foundation of Circle Innovations was also the foundation of my initial strivings as a Haxor of all things. This is when I developed my skillset for computper software development and basic graphic design. Together with Luis Rivera and Armando Bravo, I completed web development, video and graphic design courses at Foothill College. An ad-hoc education that was just enough to make do.


   Multifaceted Business

CI was a multifaceted business offering end-to-end sevices, which could be broken up into Web Development, Web Design, Graphic Design, Multimedia (CD/Device deployment), and PC Repair. In addition, we were able to customize high-performance computers for purchase.

 

 

   Close of business

As they say, all good things must...metamorphosize as it is only natural. Well, someone says that: me. I changed with the times and moved on from this endavor to the next. However, the skills and experience acquired from the ebbs and flows of owning a small business have been invaluable.
