Web Sites - Page 1
Thank you for visiting the Web site section of my online portfolio. Here I have showcased some of the Web sites I have worked on during the past ten years. These include Web sites for Disney Interactive Media Group, MediaSpan Online, Mitsubishi Motors, Motorcycle Safety Foundation, Carabella, AB Lambden, PRO IV Technology, and my own small business ventures from the past.
My Web development experience started in 2000 working at PRO IV Technology. I was initially hired as a QA Analyst, but had an opportunity to work on Web site updates that helped fire my interest. At that time, I was in the process of completing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS). I continued to develop my skills during my next assignments, and decided to pursue a Masters in Information Technology (MSIT). I graduated with a MSIT in 2007. After the Masters studies, I decided to continue with with a PhD while continuing to work fulltime. I successfully completed the first semester studying Enterprise application development in .NET and J2EE (Note: for a more complete breakdown of areas of study, please refer to the Education section of my portfolio).
In each example below, I will highlight technologies I have used, and a bulleted list of duties performed. Please email me if you would like more information.
