Senior Web Designer/Developer

6050 Peachtree Parkway, Suite 240-230, Norcross, GA 30092
Net-based Specialist
EXPERIENCE SUMMARY: I have over 10 years of website design and development experience, including corporate intranets, extranets, ecommerce, database-driven, CMS and Flash projects and web sites.
I have been responsible for, or a major player within, the development and deployment of over 40 Internet projects ranging from small static sites to online storefronts to enterprise-level database applications.

The table below provides a chronology of my net-based activities beginning 1996, starting with the most recent first.

Note #1: Much of my work has been within confidential corporate arenas, and is not available for viewing by the general public.

Note #2: Consistent with the lulls of doing contract work, I have on occasion had two projects active at the same time and hence overlap in this chronology.
