I am an internet professional with over 14 years experience in digital media, specializing in web design and development for the past 12 years.

My current position (which I have been in for just under 10 years) has given me the ability to design and develop internet applications from various aspects including requirements definition and documentation, wireframing and static mock-ups, defining style and user experience, functional mock-ups (html, css, and javascript), technology research and determination, data modeling, delegation of work and management of design and development staff, testing and QA, and distribution.

It has been imperative that I continuously learn about emerging technologies on an ongoing basis over the course of my career. I am also highly experienced in fast-paced, high-pressure environments where priorities can shift at random.

My goal is to find a position in an agile development environment where I can use my experience to help the organization excel at meeting objectives while expanding my own knowledge base through team interaction and problem solving.
