Career and Companies
I have a Bachelor of Science from the University of South Carolina, as well as significant experience in web development and web programming. Currently I serve as the Director of Web Development for DuBose Web Group in Columbia, SC. In addition to my last job where I served as the Director of Web Content at SCETV, I served as the Lead Web Developer for the Director of Maintenance Office at the SCDOT, Web Coordinator for a collegiate club, and I also have considerable experience with my own personal online business ventures which I have been operating since 2001. I have gained important experience in E-Commerce, Social Networking, Search Engine Optimization, Management, and Communication skills through these venues.
I have a total of 14 years experience in web development (1997-2011), ten of which were spent developing websites for professional industries. I also have four years of professional experience as a Senior Web Developer and/or Director of Web Development.
During these years I gained extensive experience in graphic design using the Adobe Web CS3-CS5 Suite, regularly prepared prototypes, performed SEO, and gained extensive knowledge on cross browser platforms and compatibility via the web. I am fluent in HTML, CSS, and have extensive experience with Javascript/JQuery. I have worked regularly with both PHP/MySQL and Cold Fusion in addition to the vast array of Content Management Systems utilizing these technologies. I am especially proficient in the use of Expression Engine CMS; as 95% of my development work involves Expression Engine. I am thoroughly familiar with both EE 2.2.x and 1.7.x.I would say my largest accomplishments are the multiple web-based companies I've started. I've always had the mind of an entrepreneur, and being able to live my life doing what I love (web development) is a dream come true for me.
