PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Partners4Life, Inc. Whitewater, WI President
07/05-present
. Project Highlights: Developed and maintained business website. This
website was started using a template program through Stores Online. I
enhanced the website by creating HTML within the confines of their
parameters. I taught myself HTML prior to attending college. The research
for search engine optimization (i.e. keyword density, internal and
external linking, website name selection, etc.) and customer retention on
the website was performed using tools like WebCeo and straight search
engine research.
. Technical Environment (Development): HTML in Notepad
. Technical Environment (Creation): Online Template w/HTML programming
inserts.
Latino Service Providers of Rock County Janesville, WI Web Developer
(intern) 2009
. Project Highlights: www.latino-services.org, Developed website using
XHTML, CSS, and PHP. Consulted client for input on what they wanted on
the website and how they would want to make changes in the future. I
designed and presented a number of different sites for the client to look
over based upon their requirements. During the process, the client was
constantly involved and their input was my main consideration. I also
presented alternatives to some of the features they wanted that would
negatively affected the site for optimized Search Engine efficiency. This
was an internship and I was the sole developer of this project from
conception to implementation.
. Technical Environment (Development): Microsoft Web Expression 2, Text pad
5.0
. Technical Environment (Creation): Windows vista, Web Expression, Xampp
(for PHP)
Blackhawk Technical College Janesville, WI Web Developer
(intern) 2010-
. Project Highlights: www.blackhawk.edu, Developed Faculty and Staff
portion of website in conjunction with the existing Website. President
Dr. Eric Larson presented me with a proposal to create this website for
BTC in conjunction with the site currently being built by Dream Studios
in Michigan. The project was developed following the specifications and
ideas laid forth by Blackhawk's Future Expansion Idea Committee. The
committee was the final authority for the project prior to Faculty and
Staff Approval and was involved in every step of the process. Using
Firefox add-ons, I color coordinated the site to match BTC's website. I
implemented a database in 3NF using Access and created the site in
ASP.net via Visual Studio 2010 using grid views to display the database
information.
. Technical Environment (Development): Developed using Microsoft Visual
Studio 2010 using ASP.Net and VB.Net, as well as integrating an Access
2010 database for ease of updating the database from the confidential
Oracle Employee Database.
. Technical Environment (Creation): Tested on a local server with a copy of
the current BTC website in play to ensure compatibility with the current
system.
o Blackhawk has not yet implemented this addition. I was recently
consulted by BTC and asked if I would continue in this project by
assisting next year's AITP group on this project as the coordinator
(volunteer).
