Professional Spotlight & Capabilities
My work experience has afforded me the opportunity to develop technical and interpersonal skills making me a highly qualified UI developer/designer. I possess the ability to take Photoshop comps from designers and transform them into fully-functional, semantic websites, using with HTML , CSS, & JQuery. I utilized extensive capabilities of Dreamweaver, Photoshop and other web development /graphic design tools to design and develop complex e-business web applications with exciting visual designs that enhance the user experience.
I have an exemplary record of working with Marketing and IT professionals to ensure the client’s web presence accurately reflects and builds the corporate brand. I’m a professional with substantial experience with on-line media and I have the ability to grasp complex concepts quickly and translate them into compelling Internet content.
In many of my roles I teamed with developers and the business to evolve design specifications into useful and usable, goal-centered, brand consistent products that balanced business needs and technical feasibility. And I monitored the integrity of the developing web sites by integrating .NET, JAVA, SQL, JavaScript/jQuery and other code into the markup, all while working on multiple projects with tight deadlines.
If you feel that my expertise may benefit your IT team or that I might be able to help you out in any way please contact me and I’ll be glad to be of service.
Thank You!
