Get to Know Me
My first computer was a Radio Shack Tandy at my high school in Montana. I wrote a maze game program, and I was hooked. In 1995, I built my first computer from parts, and the next year, I made my first web page using Notepad and Paint Shop Pro. I graduated from college with a degree in Cultural Anthropology, but I was so hooked on creating web sites that I applied for a job as a web content manager with an herb and vitamin manufacturing company.
I have since added quite a few skills and worked for a number of different companies, covering a wide array of services, from a ballet school to a barter company. From Salesforce to Wordpress. I gathered skills like PHP, MySQL, .NET, SQL, Javascript, HTML, Python, responsive web design and Adobe Creative Cloud editing as I went along.
I graduated with my Master's in 2012 and with that came the opportunity to teach.
My favorite thing to do is to create responsive websites.
Hire meMy skill set is ever-changing, but here are some of my specialties and some things I'm learning.
The best way I've learned to write web code is to see what other sites are doing, take what code I can from their website (within legal and copyright limits), then tear that code apart and rework it to suit my needs. It's sort of like unstitching a sweater and then knitting it back together. It never looks quite the same, but you understand how it was made and learned from making it.
This is not a complete list, but it is a list of the things I am great at. If you don't see what you need on here, let me know and I'll do my best to help.
I've been doing web development for a long time, so I'll focus on the recent and the best and throw in a few of my sentimental favorites.
