Jennifer Gallardo, but you can call her Jen, has always had a passion for computers and technology. As a kid, she played around with programming in Visual Basic. The dot-com era ushered in a new passion: web design. Jen spent much of her high school years creating websites — mostly for local musicians — on a freelance basis.
After high school, she entered New York University where she decided to major in Computer Science. While attending the liberal arts institution, Jen honed her skills in photography, creative writing and other subjects besides technology. However, she did obtain a strong grounding in algorithms, programming techniques, and her main interest, web technologies.
Since graduating NYU, Jen has remained in Manhattan working mainly in the entertainment industry (namely, television and film). Jen continues to pursue her interests in writing and photography.
