Experience Summary
I’m an experienced web developer, designer, and publisher with a broad range of technical skills and strong communication and soft skills. I work effectively either independently or in a team, including proven ability to work in a corporate environment, and with freelance clients. I’m able to simultaneously see the details and the big picture, with proven ability to pick up new skills quickly. I can hand code small sites, or work in a content management environment.
I have worked with content contributors, team members, clients, and vendors, and have been responsible for training employees in web design and use of Stellent/Oracle Content Management, particularly Content Publisher and Content Server.
