web developer
i am primarily a front-end developer, but i have a strong interest in developing on the back end as well. my current focus is learning ruby on rails. i have undertaken two complete site builds for mullen clients so far (see procurement support office above, as well as an upcoming site for the department of defense common access card). i assist in the maintenance of several DoD websites such as today's military and myfuture. client list also includes zappos, shout, and hsbc.
i have begun practicing responsive design, a growing trend in the development community which focuses on delivering flexible content to accommodate multiple devices.

my role is to closely audit websites in development, beta, and production in order to ensure functionality, cross-browser rendering, graceful degradation, and accessibility.
