Working with Perficient on the Brocade.com website redesign and CMS implementation, I served as the Lead Interwoven Technical Consultant. To kick off the project, I was involved in requirements gathering and content planning meetings on-site at the hardware manufacturer's headquarters in San Jose, CA. Our solution incorporated many advanced features of the Interwoven suite of products, including meta tagging and custom LiveSite component development. I was the primary consultant responsible for the development of Data Capture Templates and Presentation Templates, and a large number of custom LiveSite components. This included components designed to automatically read and iterate through the LiveSite Sitemap for various navigation display methods. I also assisted with end-user software training related to migration efforts and component implementation.

As the lead developer for the bi-lingual SeatCheck.org website, working for Compuware on-site at Chrysler headquarters, I was responsible for the HTML/CSS/Javascript development using a creative design provided as a layered Photoshop file by a third party agency. One of the primary objectives of this website redesign was to bring the website to an internal hosting solution using an Interwoven TeamSite content management system, which allows content updates by the client, reducing post-launch development costs. For all TeamSite projects, I also used Microsoft HTML Help Workshop to create compiled help modules (which were supplied to the end-users) covering the basic TeamSite procedures needed to maintain the new web presence.

As the lead developer for Lincoln while at Young & Rubicam - Wunderman Digital, I was responsible for the HTML/ASP/XML/CSS/Javascript for www.lincoln.com. Throughout the development life-cycle, I interfaced with account representatives, project management, creative and application developers as needed to implement these solutions within an Interwoven TeamSite environment, using FogBugz as our QA department's primary bug tracking tool. I also created and launched several email marketing campaigns using Responsys, with participant response tracking and A/B analysis metrics.

As the lead developer for the Road Ready Teens bi-lingual website, working for Compuware on-site at Chrysler headquarters, I was responsible for the HTML/CSS/Javascript development using a creative design provided as a layered Photoshop file by a third party agency. Additionally, I was responsible for upgrading the legacy PHP code for the teen quiz and parent-teen contract applications, converting them to javascript applications which make use of client-side cookies for managing session activity. One of the primary objectives of this redesign was to migrate the website to an internal hosting solution using an Interwoven TeamSite content management system, which allows content updates by the client, reducing post-launch development costs. Image-based navigation was replaced with DHTML navigation by implementing a CSS/Javascript solution to draw the navigation based on client-input, maintainable text entries within TeamSite.

In order to comply with Nissan-mandated global style compliance guidelines, Tweddle Litho Company was tasked with redesigning their Nissan and Infiniti publications e-commerce websites. I served as the lead developer on the project, in which I was responsible for all HTML, ASP, Javascript, and CSS coding, with input on several Commerce Server pipeline transactions. The Nissan Publications (http://www.nissan-techinfo.com/) and Infiniti Publications (http://www.infiniti-techinfo.com/) websites provide free and subscription-based services for the downloading, online viewing, and purchase of myriad technical data for Nissan and Infiniti vehicles including Owner Manuals, Technical Service Bulletins, ECM modules, and more. To facilitate analytics, I created a secure online page for the graphical (or text-only) representation of relevant data including Registered User Downloads and Downloads by Publication. For these two projects I was solely responsible for all new creative, ranging from copywriting for F.A.Q. and System Requirements to graphics and multi-state icon production.
