Who we are
Ionized Media is a design and web development company that creates and develops sites for others as well as itself. It was founded in the Summer of 2008 by a small, two-person team. It consists of two similarly-minded teenagers who hark from the southeastern cultural hub known as Greenwood, SC.
About Ryan:
Designer Extaordinaire
I'm a designer and student from Greenwood, South Carolina. I was born in the Philippines in the early '90s. Since my birth, I've lived in numerous places, which include Chicago, Los Angeles, and my current home. I particularly enjoy my current residence (even though it's somewhat secluded.)
Other than designing, I enjoy many sports (except for baseball.) In fact, I play soccer (football) for my local high school. Go Eagles! Hah. I also enjoy writing, twittering, and drinking tea. I love tea. Darjeeling special please!
Though I'm not as experienced as some other designers, I believe that there's enough talent and potential in me to create the same level of work that they do. With best regards,
Ryan Gonzalez
About Brandon:
Programming Wizard
I'm a programmer of many things including, but not limited to, Ruby on Rail, C for competition robots, and C++ on Mac and Windows platforms. Some of my current projects are honing my Ruby on Rails skills and researching both C++ and National Instrument's Lab View for robotic competition and image analyses.
On top of this, I'm a home-schooled student currently in the middle of high school. Being home-schooled allows me to work on subjects that are more relevant to my interests that I plan on studying in college. After High School, I plan on attending college for computer science and mathematics, to which I will pursue either a Master's degree or a Ph.D in those subjects.
Aside from that, I am part of a rookie FRC (FIRST Robotics Competition) team 2430 CyberStorm. The team competed at the 2008 Palmetto Regional at Clemson Unviversity. We placed 8th (out of 36 team) and was rewarded the rookie all-star award. After that, we were invited to compete at the FRC World Championship in Atlanta with 360 other teams. I was the project manager for the robot software/programming group for team2430.
Thank you for your time,
Brandon Dean
