Greetings
I’m a User Interface/Front-End Application Developer in Atlanta. My diverse portfolio includes small businesses, non-profits, entrepreneurs, authors, and I’ve also been contracted by organizations like eBay and CNN to lend a hand in their most pivotal projects. I previously worked as a front end web developer at The Weather Channel, and currently develop user interfaces for network monitoring and security software at Lancope.
I get excited about things like family, playing guitar, football season, old video games, and well-formatted JavaScript files.
Professional Profile
My primary skill set includes HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript/jQuery, and WordPress. I also have experience working with php, JSP, AJAX techniques, and I’ve developed on the front end of mobile web applications. I work according to the Agile software development methodology and have a CSPO certification (2012). While I consider myself to be a developer first, my ancillary skills include wireframing, search engine optimization, analytics, conversion optimization, and I’ve also done some design work on smaller projects. I possess a strong business acumen which stems from my past experiences as an insurance agent, consultant, and public speaker. I’m a proud graduate of Auburn University.
