Experience

I was hired on at vest as a contract worker due to the fact that I am still a student at Western. However, I have since spoke to Larry Vest and he has assured me that there is a spot waiting for me when I finish up my senior year.

Vest has an awesome work environment and an even better group of people to work with. I am currently doing small jobs for Vest while at college but plan to return to Louisville, KY as soon as I finish.

I preform front-end web development for Vest including some CMS tweaking and IT consulting.

Skills

Personal: I enjoy working with others as much as I enjoy working alone. I am a strong leader and like to take charge of situations.

Web: I have worked on a growing number of websites for all types of people from businesses to musicians. I write most of my XHTML and CSS code from scratch using simply a text editor. However, I have worked and can utilize Adobe Dreamweaver as well as Microsoft Expression Web. I am an avid user of Adobe Photoshop to create my own layout images. JavaScript and Flash also make their way into some of my designs.
