Work Experience

Front End Developer: My job duties include graphic and user interface design using Photoshop, Illustrator and
Gimp, image optimization, CSS based design, HTML optimization, accessibility and validation, jQuery and PHP
implementation. I have helped redesign and maintain an existing online dating website to W3 standards with
cross browser compatibility; helped create, launch and maintain a new online dating website; and helped

Front End Developer: During my time with MediaFLO, I have managed the Information Architecture for their
Internal Internet, participated in the update of the Intranet’s design and assisted with the creation and
maintenance of their interactive tools. I have used my CSS based design skills in the redesign of the Intranet and
the creation of several interactive tools such as an events calendar, a location editor, and a page catalog. In
assisting with the design of new tools, I have used my skills with AJAX to create dynamic form elements (DOJO)
and tabbed tables (Tabber Tabs). Other AJAX libraries such as Scriptaculous and Prototype, were used in the
creation of a dynamic navigation system for the Intranet. As I always do, I used W3 Compliant validators to
authenticate my CSS and XHTML code and to ensure cross browser compatibility. While working with MediaFLO,
I also learned XSL, XSL:FO, Axure and some simple JAVA. My skills with Photoshop were used in the redesign of an
events calendar tool, and a third redesign of the Intranet.

experience included the use of Lightbox 2.0, Scriptaculous and Prototype for photographic slide-shows, along
