At The Adsmith I'm responsible for overseeing all aspects of website buildout, from managing and prioritizing development workload to collaborating closely with the design team. I install, adapt, and skin various CMS platforms (Drupal, WordPress, and ExpressionEngine) depending on the project, and devise custom features as needed. I also focus on advancing our SEO techniques, troubleshoot and perform quality assurance and cross-browser compatibility updates on existing sites, and integrate dynamic scripting (JQuery/AJAX) and social media aspects into projects and designs.

At Sugar, Inc., a startup with over 16 million monthly uniques, I worked with engineers and designers to create and enhance site features like RSS-feed-parsing widgets and customized product review systems. I was the go-to person for theming and cross-browser compatibility, and my time spent tweaking and troubleshooting the Drupal framework that the site ran on gave me a strong handle on PHP and MySQL. I also provided the editorial and marketing departments with online technical support.

I've done basic five-page HTML sites and I've also worked with CMS and eCommerce software such as Wordpress, Moveable Type, Drupal, and Magento.

As a student web designer and interim web master at the University of Iowa Memorial Union I worked with departments and student groups to create and update accessible and standards-compliant websites. I also helped maintain the IMU website by photographing images, creating graphics, and updating content.

I did Photoshop-to-code work for this Iowa City company, starting with a PSD and ending with a pixel-perfect copy in HTML, CSS, PHP, and Javascript.
