Professional Experience

Freelance Web Developer

Myself

December 2008 - Present

See my portfolio

VueJS, Nuxt, HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, PHP, WordPress, Kohana, mySQL, Geolocation, HTML5 Video, Perch CMS

My current focus is eLearning Systems geared toward law schools. I have been full-stack programming from designing the database to the front-end development since 2010.

My other freelance projects have included: converting old static websites into responsive sites, turning PhotoShop Documents into HTML/CSS, full-fledged web applications written in Kohana PHP, Wordpress sites, Google Map applications, Perch and ModX CMS sites, one very old Classic ASP (!) ecommerce site, and various straight-up websites.

I enjoy learning new technologies and love working on all sorts of projects large and small. I delight in learning new frameworks and try to keep up with the latest web development trends.

Senior Web Developer

I was in charge of all things web related at Mindworks Multimedia from creating and maintaining websites, web interfaces for multimedia projects, and domain, web, and email administration.

Front-end Web Developer

February 2009 - April 2009
August 2009 - November 2009

HTML 4.01, CSS, jQuery

I wrote the presentation layer code for a redesign of one of BCBSNC online products. I created standards compliant HTML templates that are easily reused. I expanded their CSS design patterns and helped make them work across all browsers. I wrote a custom jQuery validation framework that is flexible, portable, and easily expandable.

Senior Web Developer

Mach 9 Consulting

July 2007 - December 2008

HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0, CSS, PHP, Javascript, CakePHP, mySQL, ExpressionEngine, WordPress, SVN, Basecamp, OOP, MVC

As Senior Web Developer, I specialized in HTML/CSS portions of the websites we developed. I am a big proponent of the separation of data (html), presentation (css), and behavior (javascript). I understand the cross-browser compatibility issues and all the trouble IE6 can cause. I created an html/css framework that reduces cross-browser problems and enables me to quickly create websites. I am knowledgeable in PHP and often use it to generate repetitive HTML code.
