I began my love of computing when I got a Commodore Vic-20 (complete with audio
cassette data recorder) as a child. I work as a consultant delivering interface design and
open source software integration to my clients.
Over the past 18 years, I have worked for startups in Austin, Dallas, Boston, Vancouver, San
Antonio and New York City, as a front-end developer or senior user experience lead. I have
also excelled in large corporate settings managing fully staf ed development teams. With Big
companies (Fortune 25) or small companies (3 guys and a foosball table), I am focused on
delivering easy-to-use web solutions and getting the best out of the people I'm lucky to
work with. I am available to work onsite at your location or can use technology like IM, Skype
video, git and Basecamp to bridge distances with remote clients.
A product of the rich culture of El Paso, Texas, I enjoy my long time love of playing golf,
traveling and spending time with my family.
PORTFOLIO
I've worked with many of your favorite brands on mobile and web development
projects. Michaels, ESPN, AT&T, Yahoo!, Harris Teeter, American Express and
Compucom have all been clients that I worked very closely with. Many of my past
clients prefer their internal interfaces private or have me under NDA to not talk about
the work I've done on them. Here is a selection of work that I've done that I can talk
about. http://www.hirejoey.com

TESTIMONIALS
Here are a few things that clients and coworkers have said about me. There are also
many more available in my LinkedIn pro le when you connect to me.
WES POTH
"What I always liked about working with Joey was his attitude. He would never tell
you that what you were trying to create wasn't possible. Tough maybe, but not
impossible. I believe that this is how you push the boundaries of software
development. Keep thinking outside the box and make the "impossible" possible.
This seemed to be what Joey always believed and I was always surprised to what his
team could deliver in the time that was given. Over-deliver was status quo. This is
your go-to guy when you need it done yesterday."
SORIYANY KEO
"I had the great opportunity of working with Joey. His extensive experience with
many years in various development and dealing with both software engineers and
clients have made him an extraordinarily well-rounded VP of Development. I am
happy and proud to say that I have learned much from him, and would gladly work
again with him hands down. Highly and wholeheartedly recommended."
COURTNEY CROSS
"Working with Joey was a true pleasure! Always optimistic, glass is half full type of
guy; and really was a mover and shaker when it came to getting the people in our
of ce excited. He always brought something or someone new to the table that could
solution the problems at hand. I would work with him again, any day."
TOM PENG
Joey is one of the best creative minds I have worked with, in my 15 years of web

Laptop and Absolute Data Protect. He revolutionized the way users interact with our
