QUALIFICATIONS I am enthusiastic and dedicated, a passionate developer and a resourceful collaborator. With my broad scope of proficiencies in web and native application development, networking, database and systems administration, I craft sophisticated, attractive software solutions for real, complex problems. BACKGROUND 2009-Present Independent Web Developer, Applications Consultant. Sacramento, CA I worked with a variety of clients to develop original, consumer-focused websites and to modernize existing sites with social and brand-endearing features. All projects used agile development concepts of use-case driven development, rapid iteration, tested deployments, and regular progress and budget reviews. Every platform offered customer-controlled content with custom CMS interfaces and CRM software integration. All sites were developed and tested to be crossplatform and full-featured, using HTML5 and JavaScript, degrading elegantly when needed, and functional across traditional and mobile platforms. 2006-2009 IT Support Specialist, Web Developer, Applications Consultant. Great Expressions Dental Centers. Miami, FL; Bloomfield Hills, MI. My position began as an independent web developer, contracted to expand a legacy web-based employee management system. I was later hired on to oversee IT operations for 17 dental offices in Florida, which expanded to include remote support for any of the company's offices across the eastern US. With the merger of my original employer, Consolident, Inc., into Great Expressions, I performed the IT-related aspects of the lengthy merger: inventory and asset tracking; intercompany education; and integration of the old and new business software. After the merger, my responsibilities grew to include Active Directory administration, database integration for our proprietary applications team, and web application development for corporate websites. 2005-2006 Independent Web Developer, IT Support Specialist, Audio Technician. New York, NY. Designed and developed a variety of websites ranging from personal blogs, retail e-commerce sites, print-to-web design conversions, and podcasting sites and feeds. The breadth and variety of projects allowed me to establish and diversify my skill set, while honing my core competencies in web development, systems administration, and customer relations.
