I will rough out a control in jQuery but the developer may decide it’s better to do it in pure JS. I typically leave the development to those much faster with a deeper knowledge of it and focus on my strengths. I retain a design focus, targeting user experience and usability.

I have designed and constructed from scratch more than 100 websites. Many were designed to work as offline interactive CDs. sales tools, and catalogs. E-commerce experience, PayPal and credit card processing. Both web sites and web applications. Some responsive, and some mobile ready some were specific to platforms such as iPad.

APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

I have worked embedded with Development teams working on both Windows based applications and web based hosted cloud solutions. I have also worked as part of a mobile application team using jQuery.Mobile.UI and PhoneGap for hybrid applications. Prototyping around many different frameworks that the architects require. React.js, Angular1.2-2.0, and frontend UI tools Bootstrap3-4, PrimeNG for Angular.

EQUIPMENT

I maintain current computer systems on my own as well as many of the application sets that I use with employers I have invested in on my own. Tablets, Graphics Tablets, Cameras and tools. I do shoot lots of photography and have a good list of corporate clients. I have shot magazine covers, calendars and posters. I often use this skill in my design work. I have done a lot of 3D modeling and animation over the years both as parts of UI Designs and in the promotion of software and other products.
