Shawn Fennell

I am a creative and energetic  person, looking for new ways to make use of my skills and experience.

I am a proficient software developer with a proven track record of creating applications, web portals and databases, using various languages.

I have an eye for visual design and have often been hired for my ability to create user interfaces,  logos, banner and icons, as well as for photographic projects.
