I first became interested in web development when I was about 13 years old. When my family got our first computer we signed up for AOL for Internet access. I saw that AOL had a service where you could create your own website hosted by AOL. I thought it was very interesting so I began to play with the AOL website building tools. Soon I was building my own webpages and impressing family and friends with what I could do. It turned into a hobby of mine at a young age and now I am making a career of it.
Currently, I have approximately 4 years of professional experience in web/interactive design and development. I have expert knowledge of HTML, CSS, and the constraints of designing for the Web. I also knowledgable of the best practices for Search Engine Optimization and Accessibility.
I've learned many types of software through my years of Web and interactive development. I am proficient with Adobe Dreamweaver, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Flash, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premier Pro, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Lightroom, and Microsoft Powerpoint.
My expertise does not stop at just Web development. I also have skills in video and sound editing and creating interactive pieces such as Powerpoint presentations and interactive kiosks and Flash animations.
I have used Google Analytics to analyze traffic to websites that I maintain. Some of the coding languages that I have a working knowledge of are Javascript, ASP .NET, PHP, SQL, and ActionScript.
I also have experience in developing templates for content management systems such as WordPress and DotNetNuke. I am also familiar with social media/networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Flickr.
Over the years I have developed an understanding of browser capabilities and design constraints on the web across multiple browsers and operating systems.
I am confident that with my skills along with a strong attention to detail, willingness to learn, and a positive, can-do attitude that I can be a valuable asset to your company.
