I am a software developer focusing on web development. My interest in web development sparked after graduating college. I am completely self-taught and currently work at Seven Corners.
I got my start at professional web development while employed at Eli Lilly & Company. I was a contractor with Unisys and working at the help desk. I was asked to assist with two new websites for the department. After becoming a help desk technical lead, I had complete control of the two websites. I had no limits.
One website was a help desk portal, which greatly enhanced administrative functions at the help desk. The other website assisted in the ordering of new hardware for Eli Lilly employees. Both websites received a redesign as well as additional features. Employees at Eli Lilly and Unisys were impressed with the websites.
After some downsizing at Eli Lilly, Unisys took over the development and maintenance of a global self-service support website. I was asked to do the development/maintenance. Of course, this led to my official change in job title. I was now a web developer for Unisys, which was a new position created for me.
After some time, I decided that it was time for me to move on. This led me to my current position. My skill set includes ColdFusion for server-side scripting, Javascript for client-side scripting, and CSS for layout/styling.
My personal projects include the redesign and maintenance of the ApplePickers. The website was redesigned using PHP for the server-side scripting. Since 2004, I have been the webmaster for the Indianapolis Apple User Group.
