15+ years of professional Web Development and Design experience, ergo the large skillset. This is largely consulting with high-profile, name-brand, mission-critical enterprise projects, including design, development, social media, and mobile. In other words, an encyclopedic webster.
I have a level of Verbal and Social Skills unusual for a techie, along with tech / team lead experience, mentoring, client soft skills, requirements gathering, proposal writing, RFP and RFI development, technical writing, et cetera, and therefore am also open to managerial opportunities.
My Technical Skills include all four major stacks (LAMP, MEAN, .NET, and Java), but with a focus on the front-end technologies, including a very deep knowledge of hand-coded/vanilla JavaScript, as well as several of the major frameworks. While the middleware I use varies from project to project, going from C# on one to PHP on the next (et cetera), I always use JavaScript, CSS, and HTML on the front end, and SQL on the back, so I have complete confidence with those. I know React and Angular, and would be happy to acquire solid experience with them.
As a consultant I’m primarily a programmer/developer, but I’m also quite adept with Graphic Art, having used Photoshop since the 90s, and do graphic design, advanced image compositing, and photo restoration work in my spare time.
As for Social Media, I have complete mastery of WordPress management, theme modification, programming, and plugin creation. I also am highly experienced with Facebook page and group creation and management.
Among my other web development competencies are mobile-first development, internationalization of websites, e-commerce experience, accessibility (ADA, WCAG 2.1, Section 508), cross-browser compatibility, and SEO mastery.
Oh, and let’s not forget Database Management, AKA the back end of the full stack. I already mentioned SQL, which I’ve mastered even to the point of being able to write complex stored procedures. But I’m also competent doing light DBA work: Setting up a database, creating and managing tables, triggers, indexing, and so on.
