Summary

I have been writing web-based applications since 1992, primarily self-taught as a result. Since then, I have developed many web sites and web-based applications, being involved in every stage of the development cycle: requirements, analysis, design, development, testing, deployment, management.

I have been managing technical teams since 1996, and heading up digital/interactive departments for small boutique agencies and large global agencies since 2001, managing department production budgets in excess on $2 million.

My technical skills include a strong knowledge of web application development using PHP (including PHP 5), SQL, Perl, Java/JSP (J2SE, J2EE) and XML. I have also worked with and deployed applications on most of the modern operating systems, including Windows servers, Linux, MacOS and IRIX(SGI). Since 2007, I have been working closely with social media and mobile marketing campaigns.

I was a senior instructor at Centennial College for 10 years in their continuing education programmes. I developed and taught the curriculum for their Web Development Certificates, and I sat on the program advisory committee for an Information Architecture post graduate program.
