I'm a web developer in Washington, DC. I like to tweet, post tidbits to tumbleDLog, upload photos, track bookmarks, opine about building a better government web, connect with colleagues and talk shop.
With 15 years of front-end experience, I've traveled from HTML to XHTML and back again. I know the past, present and purpose of each and apply them appropriately to each project I work on. I scrutinize the details of HTML, CSS and JavaScript to craft open, meaningful, scalable resources that perform.
More sites and screen shots are coming soon…
This site. Uses new elements of HTML5, web fonts in CSS3 and no JavaScript as yet - not until necessary. I prioritized accessibility by using semantic markup and styles striving for WCAG 2 AAA compliance. (Coming soon: screenshots for Portfolio items, possibly RDFa, etc.)
Key developer of front-end functionality throughout the site. I was the sole front-end developer of the Consumer Broadband Test (involving extensive jQuery/JavaScript development and Section 508 compliance).
UI Team Lead for the leading e-commerce site in France. I worked on numerous projects involving complex XHTML, CSS, JavaScript (jQuery, JSON, AJAX). High performance on a large scale.
I designed and coded this site to showcase the products of a small business in Brooklyn, NY. AJAX provides smooth navigation between products and the Back button is supported. I guided client through process of acquiring domain name, hosting.
Part of a small team that built the site in four days from request to production.
Small site for a small company. Static content allowed me to use XHTML 1.1 served as XML using the MIME type "application/xhtml+xml." Please note: I do not recommend this practice as the risk of failure outweighs the benefits.
Redesigned the website for the Embassy using XHTML, CSS and JavaScript. The site has since switched over to the centralized template system used by the State Department, which is good because it is consistent for users.
