Objective

I am seeking an opportunity to be part of an organization whose mission, culture and team dynamics are in harmony with

my skills, character, and work ethic.

Summary

I am a web development professional with more than 10 years of paid work experience. I have used HTML, CSS,

JavaScript and jQuery/jQuery UI, SQL, ColdFusion (with & without CFWheels, an MVC framework), WordPress3.x and

PHP 5.x, GitHub for Mac (albeit mostly for personal projects), CloudFlare CDN, and Web Fonts (preferring Google to

Cufon). My IT support background lets me better collaborate with technical specialists (e.g. DBAs, CCNAs, Linux

admins, etc.); my BA degree in English helps me better communicate technical concepts to end users via similes and

metaphors.
