Multi-talented senior web site development and enterprise content management consultant * Very high level of proficiency in all aspects of web site creation including design and development in both client and server side technologies * expert competency in enterprise content management principles and execution * Pit bull tenacity in solving problems.
I have worked as a web site and web applications developer and enterprise content management consultant for clients including Federal Government agencies and international corporations for 10 years. From August 2008 to now I have specialized in Oracle's Universal Content Management Server (formerly Stellent). I worked as a graphic designer for 10 years before turning my attention to software development.
While I have strong technical and creative skills, my strongest quality is my pit bull tenacity when it comes to solving problems. Once I start, I persist and insist on finding a solution. I have developed a reputation for being a go-to expert for difficult problems because I will do whatever it takes to find a solution and to make sure the needs of my clients are met to their satisfaction.
I have proven myself to be a unique and valuable asset because I have equal strength in all aspects of design, user experience and server-side technologies. A lot of professionals make this claim but in my case it is true and I am more than happy to prove it. I am highly skilled in bridging communication between information architecture, user experience and back-end development on client projects.
