PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY:
I have several years of experience with both Microsoft and Adobe programming/server-side and front-end/design tools. My experience is both broad and deep in C#, VB.Net, SQL/SQL Server, HTML up to HTML5, and JavaScript/CSS. I am adept at the preparation and editing of multimedia for the web including MP3/MP4/MPG. In addition, my experience includes authoring design documents such as vision statements, business requirements, technical specifications, wireframes, and mockups. As I progress through my education, currently pursuing a Doctor of Management/Information Systems and Technology, I look to staff, organize, and lead programming teams by placing my education and experience to work for an innovative company in West Michigan that would like to leverage technology to find a strategic advantage over their competitors.
