The Team

Carlos Morales
Manager

Carlos began designing websites in the mid-90s while being completely enamored by the Hot Dog HTML editing software and the seemingly endless supply of MIDI files that needed to be posted on the web. Soon the shiny and welcoming exterior of HTML wore off and Carlos was lost for several generations. Lured in by the appeal of FPS and MMORPG worlds, many nights were lost to these deviant technologies. Desperate to clean up his act, he found himself at the footsteps of UF. The kind souls brought him in and cleaned him up, providing shelter and nourishment. He hasn’t left since. He can sometimes be found wandering the halls still searching for red armor.

When he’s not busy fixing current websites, he acts as manager for the Web Services team, attempting to lead his troupe of gifted technicians to the land of semantically correct code, beautiful and usable websites, and satisfied customers.

Brad Alderman
Web Designer

Brad would have never guessed that building simple case report forms in PHP with the late General Clinical Research Center part-time in 2005 would transform into a career in clinical research informatics. But after graduating with a journalism degree from UF in 2007, and realizing he’d rather weave web instead of composing copy, Brad traded in his notepad for Notepad++. Since then, Brad has been building CMS-driven websites and relationships with a variety of clients throughout the UF Academic Health Center.

Brad likes to build stuff. Like a digital taxidermist, he hunts down exquisite HTML templates and re-skins open-source content management systems with their hides. The end result is a winning website that a client can proudly display in their trophy room.

When he isn’t in front of a computer, Brad enjoys offshore fishing and driving on the wrong side of the road.

Amanda Austin
Web Content Editor

From the first time Amanda built a website from scratch using HTML, she was hooked on the web. Amanda holds a BA in Journalism and an MA in Communications, and has 12 years experience in web editing, writing, design and development; online advertising; and social media. She is a Twitter and Facebook addict and avid blogger. When she’s not typing furiously on her iPhone trying to oust you as Mayor, Amanda is a mama to a baby boy. She’s fueled by coffee, cupcakes and Sonic Lemonberry Slushes.

Carlos Campos
Web Multimedia Expert

Señor Campos earned a degree in 3D animation back in the long-time-ago, when 3D was rendered on SGI machines with OpenGL 1.0.  After college he haunted the streets of his home town New Orleans, feeding off the city’s old spirits, making some music, eating divine food and occasionally creating websites, videos, and animations for local bands.  He eventually made his way to Gainesville where he did hard time at UF Shands Cancer Center as an IT specialist.

After years of developing his 3D skills in a corner of his living room, Señor Campos at long last found a home within the external web services team.  Now he gets to play with graphics tablets, push pixels, and finally learn to use a Mac like a real artist.

When he’s not knee deep in normal-maps, Señor Campos spends his days theorizing a cure for the zombie plague as well as perfecting his rescue route to his daughter’s daycare center.

Sean Jeng
Web Developer

Sean got his first taste of web development when he saw his friend building an HTML web page to display Dungeons & Dragons character statistics. Since then he has determined that HTML is decidedly not dorky enough, and picked up a couple of programming languages.

Thanks to his stubborn refusal to give up, which is the decades-long result of being really bad at video games, Sean has become proficient at developing and debugging complex solutions. In addition, Sean has learned to be flexible enough to work with various 3rd party software solutions to meet clients’ needs.

Diane Millican
Support and Training

Back in the Stone Age, (i.e. before computers) Diane received a degree in Education. That meant using a typewriter for all those term papers and projects. Things have come a long way since then.

Diane “used” that degree in Education to work in banking for several years. Then she found a new friend in her first Compaq computer with a 20 MB hard drive, received as a hand me down from a younger brother. When she got the chance, she went back to school and acquired a degree in Internet Technology. Diane has always enjoyed teaching and helping people use new technology. Now at UF she gets the chance to put both her computer and education degree to work.

Jeff Stevens
Web Content Optimizer

Jeff studied history and advertising account management before deciding that the creative side was more where his heart belonged and he became a graphic and web designer, working freelance and in a variety of small jobs. Eventually this led back to higher ed and webmaster positions with Student Financial Affairs and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, where he worked in communications, marketing, design, and web development, not to mention honing his skills as a meddlesome do-gooder.

As Web content optimizer, Jeff is the Web Services go-to person for questions on analytics, SEO, social media, information architecture, usability, Star Trek, and the latest internet memes.

Greg Turner
Web Developer

Greg scored a 790/800 on the GRE’s logic portion, then turned around and earned an MFA in fiction. Since that time he has been employed as a resume writer (don’t ask, he will not look at your resume), advertising copy writer, help-files developer, project manager, college instructor,  and Web designer and developer.  His most interesting jobs have been in warehouses.

Greg excels at application design and process logic, navigating murky waters, and finding practical solutions to esoteric problems.  He dreams only in color, and his hair has always been like that.

James Young
Web Designer

After trying to make a lucrative career out of delivering pizza, James discovered the existence of the internets, hung up his magnetic car-top sign, and hasn’t looked back since.  His knack for stewing pixels into succulent ambrosias led him to UF’s Academic Health Center where he takes great pride in beautifying this ever-expanding corner of the web. James deftly straddles the line between aesthetics and code (just don’t ask him what a variable is).

When not polishing interfaces or making designs pop, James enjoys taking long naps and traveling to distant lands within Alachua County.
