I’m TJ Dhillon, founder of Sushimonstr. I’m a writer, usability designer and web developer.
The idea to create Sushimonstr came to me sometime in April 2009. I realize that as an active webbie, the need to build my brand and raise awareness not only for my self but also for the web in general was something that was constantly growing in me and with a new year and new goals to achieve, I could no longer put it off. The general idea of this site is for it to function as a place for me to post reviews & articles about all things web. However, sometimes I will deviate from the regular topics just to mix it up a bit and add a little flair to the site.
I know how long it takes to word an email and appreciate the time you have spent doing so. I try my very best to reply to every single email that I receive, however if I take a while, don’t worry, I will get back to you, it probably means I am just a little busy. Please use the following email address to contact me or you can use the contact form on this site. Either way, you are guaranteed a reply!
I currently live in Melbourne, Australia. I’m an avid cyclist and have recently picked up jogging. I try to do either sport as often as possible. I’m also a read movie buff, enjoy reading and really really love my music.
I have a Bachelors in Information Technology and a Masters in Business Systems. As diverse as that may sound, my passion lies in web design and development.
I create standards based web designs that are user friendly and accessible. I have been doing this for the past 6 years, the latter 2 of the 6 as a professional. I also enjoy dabbling in Ruby programming, which I discovered in 2007. I had enough of Java and the plethora of web frameworks that use Java. I remember vowing not to touch Java ever again and just focus on design efforts, however that all changed when I found Ruby and the Rails framework. I started to enjoy programming again and have never looked back ever since.
Just the other day, I was thinking that we use javascript for a plethora of things from adding interaction to pages right down to changing and detecting content based on a users browser. This allows us to target specific devices and tailor the content that...

Hi there! My name is TJ! I’m 26 year old web designer and developer living in Australia.

I run my own web design business Laughing Rhino, however I am presently seeking permanent employment. If you have an offer, get in touch with me and I am sure we can work something out. Probe further...
