Experience

The Seattle Times

Web Developer / Designer

April 2009 - May 2009

This was a contract position at The Seattle Times through Rylem, Inc. I transformed the redesign of their NW Homes / NW Rentals portal pages into web pages. Work included writing custom scripts to parse complicated third-party XML feeds, and using the data to build image carousels and article lists.

I was offered a full-time position after the project was completed ahead of schedule.

POP design+technology

Web Developer

May 2006 - March 2009

At POP, I worked on several high-profile sites including:

  • Tetris Party website - http://www.tetrisparty.com
    • I used the ZEND Framework's locale module for multiple language support instead of the usual practice of duplicating the entire site several times.
    • Hand-coded all XHTML, CSS, and PHP
  • Lyric Opera - http://www.lyricopera.org
    • I worked closely with .NET software developers to build the first site using POP's new AJAX-powered JavaScript library.
    • Hand-coded all XHTML, CSS, JavaScript
  • Tully's corporate site - http://www.tullys.com
    • To create a unique and exciting coffee filtering widget, I collaborated with the Flash developer by writing JavaScript functions that could be called from the swf file.
    • Hand-coded all XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript
  • The Metropolitan Opera website - http://www.metoperafamily.org/metopera/
    • Filled the unglamorous, but important roll of maintaining the giant Metropolitan Opera website.
    • Hand-coded all XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript
