Whoami Programming Webdesign Resume

When designing for the web I favour intuitive, modular interfaces combined with powerful database-driven content. Whenever possible I write HTML by hand, and use extensive CSS techniques to create designs that are flexible as well as beautiful.

BC Employment Program Online System

Interface and client tools design for an employment case management system. Skinnable CSS design allows users to select from one of many interfaces by changing only the website's stylesheet.

ASP.NET Programming and interface design for worker safety case management application. Client-heavy architecture incorporates asynchronous JavaScript XML transfers (AJAX) and a suite of custom-developed .NET user controls. Despite the interface complexity, it conforms to high accessibility standards and is compatible with screen reading tools. Most HTML and design elements as encapsulated in .NET user controls for maximum modularity and reusability.
