Lead Developer/Designer Resume

Summary of Qualifications (Updated: 7-2-2010)

I currently lead a team of expert softwware developers I personally hired for specific skills. I believe that experts in a field are better than generalists who know a little of everything. I would rather have experts work together with strong communication skills. I am deeply involved in every part of the software process. Please see Experience.

My background is in Software/Web development as a designer and developer: Architecture, Java, JSP/Struts, TagLibs, etc., BEA, Oracle, JavaScript [and JQuery], Flex, Flash, Advanced HTML, DHTML, CSS1, CSS2, XML and Graphical User Interface design. My favorite technology is using Flex. My computer platform skills range from Macintosh, NT, DOS - Windows XP and UNIX. Illustrative skills are more than 17 years and Web Development experience is more than eight.

I have consulted for over eight years. I have built many Internet, Intranet and Extranet sites, which have required expert skills in Architecture, Java Programming, ASP Programming, Web Services, Shopping Cart Design and Development, E-Business, Storyboarding, Human Factors, Design, Management and the integration of site management tools such as Vignette Story Server and Share Point and our own custom build CMS enginces with SEO capability built in and performance.

I currently work for Qwest Communications (telecom) as an employee and Coors Brewing Company (now Molson-Coors) as a consultant. I will always entertain a realistic lead in this industry whether in consulting or employment as often as the market changes and the economy keeps me active.

My main duties have been to design and create a comprehensive, functional superior application with a Graphical User Interface that does not compromise download time and effectively accomplishes the goal with a very reasonable budget and schedule.  I develop and update product catalogs, increase search comprehension, provide company product information with intelligible user tools. I create a simple navigation that makes all pages easily accessible and to enhance e-commerce with demographic solutions and grab user attention.

My on-the-job objectives have been to accommodate companies with strategic plans that achieve goals and excel with the technology at hand. Each job I do is researched, a storyboard is developed, a process design is created, then the GUI is designed and at last it is developed and documented. Each job is done in a professional, organized manner by means of milestones with a tried and tested methodology.

In my projects, I have always aimed to introduce an attractive look and functionality for companies to better use their resources, and to make their business more efficient. To decrease search time and provide a superior navigational system by "two clicks and you are where you want to be" and "not make users think," and to help locate information, deliver information and maintain control of information. Most of all, I have helped to increase sales, build business-to-business bridges and attain customer satisfaction.

Denver Active | http://www.denveractive.com/

Denver Active is my web site I built on the side. I have not spent mush time working on it but it illustrates my abilities on an IIS server using VB, C# and utilizing Web Services. This site is very powerful even if it looks simple. Everything is 100% dynamically driven by databases. I built an administration portal for this site so I can invite people to write the columns for me without my assistance and without knowledge of these technologies. The Flash introduction on the home page gets the weather and an image to display. I have also created a search engine, an account and calendar tools on the site. The calendar tool I completely wrote instead of relying on other generation tools that have limitations.
