Carlos Morales

Director of Web Services

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 director for the UF Health 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.

Bill Columbia

Senior Web Designer

Bill recently returned to his home state of Florida from a short stint in California’s Silicon Valley. His time in the tech-mecca has battle hardened his design and coding skills by way of tight deadlines, massive architectures, notorious brands, and fast paced start-up culture. If he’s not online you can find him on the water.

Bill has been making things for the web since he was fifteen. He holds a B.A. in Web Design from the University of Central Florida, where he also worked designing and building web stuff for large student organizations.

Kate DiCerbo

Marketing Specialist / Content Strategist

Kate Di Cerbo got her BS in Applied Math & Statistics as well as Psychology in 2009 from Stony Brook University, originally hoping to work as a research psychologist. Ultimately she shifted gears and began working in client services for a hedge fund before taking a job in sales for a B2B technology start-up, both in NYC. Over the past three years she’s been helping small businesses with their marketing, web design, and SEO as a freelancer while accompanying her husband around the US and Europe on a longer than expected journey of postdocs.

Sean Jeng

Senior 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.

Matthew Pritchett

Web Developer

Matt is a new resident of the state of Florida, but has been a Gator fan since 1996. He loves traveling and spending time with his wife and three kids. In his professional life, Matt has spent more than a decade leveraging his design and development skills for brands like Chick-Fil-A, Go RVing, Biltmore, Dr Pepper, and many more. He has also spent time working with and for nonprofits both large and small creating unique online experiences and launching digital campaigns. Matt believes that first and foremost, his job is to communicate. Design and development are tools in that line of work.

Lauren is a forward thinking communicator with a passion for social media and public relations. Born and raised in Gainesville, Florida, she can’t consider any other place her home. Growing up, she’s always had a curiosity for public relations and decided to dedicate herself to the industry ever since. She is a proud graduate from the University of Florida and obtained her BS in Public Relations. “Best decision I’ve ever made,” she swears by.

During her time at UF, she was a proud member of PRSSA and had the privilege to intern with the local not-for-profit organization Gainesville Pet Rescue. She is now eager to have the opportunity to dive into the healthcare industry and learn the ins-and-outs of corporate PR. Lauren looks forward to being an asset to the Web Services team and providing strategic public relations and social media management to a variety of audiences. In her free time she indulges her caffeine addiction and enjoys karaoke.

Jeff Stevens

Assistant Web Manager

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 Assistant Web Manager, 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.

Kyle Tucker

Web Developer

Kyle started learning HTML at the ripe age of 12, back when Microsoft FrontPage was the best thing that had ever happened to the Internet. Not long after, he met and fell in love with PHP, learning the language by building and breaking phpBB forum sites. Kyle entered professional life as a graphic designer in 2011, but couldn’t seem to shake his affection for Web development—so two years later, he left graphic design behind, ran away with Web development and hasn’t looked back since.

Outside the office, Kyle is an amateur barbecue smoker, practicing his craft with a hand-built UDS—which is short for “ugly drum smoker” and definitely lives up to its name. He also enjoys being really, really bad at golf.

Greg Turner

Senior 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.

Nina Wright

Support and Training

Nina first learned how to code in HTML in 2000 as a way to build her own websites to alleviate the boredom of living far from her home and friends. She worked on her own personal websites and interests for the next few years, and eventually transferred those skills into the workplace where she managed websites for various offices, groups, and projects at Santa Fe College.

As she continued to develop her skills in web design, she branched into graphic design, and eventually instructional design.  While Nina is self-taught in many ways, she’s a proud graduate of the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.
