I have 15+ years of experience designing and coding responsive and user-friendly websites for a diverse
range of clients, from strong local companies to national brands such as Protection 1 and ADT. I work
exceptionally well with web designers to translate visual layouts into websites that are mobile-optimized and
easy to navigate. My projects include creating large websites with consistent and clear branding to establish
strong SEO footprints, building CMS e-commerce sites, and automating email campaigns and promotions.
