Citibank | Our Promises

www.citibank.com/promises

Three week micro-site and strict corporate branding was made enjoyable with a well rounded team. I had the opportunity to be the lead front-end developer on what was thought to be a three month campaign, but was received so well Citibank decided to run the campaign nationally for the remainder of the year.

Consumer Search

www.consumersearch.com

It's not everyday a client signs off on a project, brings it in house for development and then with three weeks to launch decides they're going to need some assistance. I enjoy the thrill of pressure and fast paced environments (no wonder I'm an interactive developer). Long nights + a wired project manager + skilled dev team = successful launch.

Gw Clothing & Co.

www.gwclothing.com

Normally not a huge fan of e-commerce work, the integration with Big Cartel helped me rethink that thought. With all platforms, customization provides it challenges but I was able to find solutions to pretty much all client requests. I jumped at the opportunity to experiment with Big Cartel and recommend it to anyone looking to develop an e-commerce foundation with less then 300 products.

Metlife Central

www.metlifecentral.com

jQuery prohibited! Really? always a plus to know pure javascript, many people think to themselves, "Yea jQuery is cool! It's so easy," but fail to learn the core javascript that jQuery is built on. We never know what requirements we might encounter or what technologies our clients will be able to support, in this case we were challenged by Metlife to rely solely on javascript. The ability to revert to pure javascript easily, paid dividends for me as a lead developer and I was up to the challenge.

p.s. thanks for the suite tickets @metlifecentral.

Nerve

www.nerve.com

One of the chillest atmospheres I've had the chance to work at, in Soho. I walked in, got briefed, threw on my Beats by Dr. Dre and delivered clean css & cross browser validated XHTML pages.

The Blackstone Group

www.blackstone.com

It's 5pm on Friday. I'm counting down the minutes till day's end, after a long week of meeting deadlines. I get a tap on the shoulder, “We need an hour of your time on another project to help the site launch for Monday morning.” 15 hours later, a full weekend of CSS and XHTML integrated in a CMS I've never used (named Red Dot), and the critical site successfully meets it's launch deadline.

The Wonderfactory

www.thewonderfactory.com

If you saw this office, you would understand the imagination The Wonderfactory works with. It was no easy task integrating their creativity with web development. Previously, having a Flash composed site, the goal was to provide a flash-free site with flash like components. jQuery to the rescue. I was the lead front-end developer and completed the site with assistance from another developer.

VCE Coalition

www.vcecoalition.com

When 10 days becomes 8 days, what it comes down to is meeting that launch date. Certain people are built for this industry and I can say without hesitation I love the pressure. I pride myself on meeting deadlines and this was one of the tightest I've ever been faced with. No project is the same in the beginning but they all seem to end the same, signed, sealed and delivered.
