Developing DSC79

” You Have To Know What You Want

Before You Can Build It”

–Scott Jensen

With the launch of DSC79 as a leading resource on all things web design, I wanted to highlight a few guiding principles for the project.  As I began preparing to gather the assets for the project, I quickly realized what the calls to action needed to be:

• Full stack web developer using HTML5/CSS3/ Javascript/PHP/JQuery/mySQL

• High level proficiency using front end frameworks: Bootstrap, Node.JS & WordPress

• WordPress core developer implementing custom CMS projects

• Version control mastery using Git/Github for contributing code within a team environment

• Adobe CC designer implementing web graphics, iconography and responsive web design

• Photoshop, Illustrator, Muse, InDesign & Dreamweaver user experience designer

These benchmarks for the site needed to correspond and reflect today’s fast paced technology ecosystem while showcasing my skills as a web designer. Illustrating my professional development as a creative designer.

Hello Word

I am an experienced web designer with skills in full stack development & UX software design. I have worked on implementing fully functional design prototypes into responsive web sites with a corresponding back end dashboard. Including developing custom CMS projects using WordPress to fit specific client side specifications. As a web designer/full stack developer with over 10 years of design experience I have participated in several re-design legacy code base projects while implementing semantic HTML5/CSS3/Bootstrap ready sites and web apps using version control to track code changes within a team environment.

As a user experience web designer, I have worked on several dashboard solutions  including developing custom CMS, branding and responsive design iconography. I am able to adapt to any team environment and quickly get up to speed. Whether as a web designer/ full stack developer or project lead. My hybrid skills in today’s fast pace tech ecosystem is a valuable asset I bring to any company’s culture. While adapting to changes in technology and always eager to learn new skills to fit a changing landscape are core values I am passionate and care about.

My skills as a full stack web developer working with WordPress range between creating fully customizable backend dashboards to developing core plugins. I have been developing with WordPress, PHP, MySQL, HTML & CSS for over a decade. Working within the data analytics education space, I created and maintained over 100 WP related projects. Ranging between design, development, Q/A and server side scaling within a multisite network environment. While designing clear and responsive user experiences for non technical users which allowed team members the ability to use each content management system with ease and fluidity.
