Specialty: I can
accurately describe myself as a professional webmaster who adeptly ties
together intent, technology, and art. Linking an organization to many
individuals by forging a custom online presence is my forte.
I possess all the knowledge, skill, and resources necessary to be able
to make any online or print concept into a reality, from the domain
registration and logo creation to custom application
development. I possess ability to plan and execute projects on any
level, for internal company purposes and for customers. My talents go
beyond
monitors and paper, to complete brand creation and implementation. The
integration of brand into a coherent graphical user
interface, including standardized font/color schemes, for use with web
and print, are orientated in a way to preserve the client's
omnipresence in corporate media. On the server side, the
collection of files is not
only well organized, but is created implementing standard browser
technologies while utilizing low bandwidth graphics. From the
JavaScript and Cascading Style Sheets, to the markup language of the
project, each hand coded or edited document is
logically arranged in an easy to update format.
My interpersonal skills are not limited to project
development. I also have a proven track record of great customer service.
This
resume is not meant to illustrate limitations but conquered territory,
research and development as well as process refinement is where my real
enjoyment flourishes.

action which would have completely revolutionized this small computer
store and put it leaps and bounds beyond the competition.
