skillset

With 15 years as a professional communicator, and a decade on the web, I bring competencies that are, at once, diverse and complimentary. I can handle wide-ranging web strategy and management responsibilities, and definitely enjoy challenges that cover a lot of ground in their breadth and depth.

soft skills

My softer skills act as a frame and backbone to inform what I do.

• excellent written/verbal communication skills and presentation abilities
• strong strategic, analytical, problem-solving and creative abilities
• a process-driven, user-centred approach to all my work
• solid leadership, administrative and technical web skills
• a collaborative, ethical, responsible approach to work
• a strong understanding of web standards, emerging social web technology (Web 2.0) and online community-building

technical and software skills

The following is a very high-level list of what I actually use to get the job done. If what you need isn't on this list, chances are I can come up to speed with whatever it is.

• handcoded XHTML, CSS, JS and PHP
• visual design and prototyping with Adobe CS 3
• flowcharts, architecture and wireframing with Omnigraffle and MS Viseo
• project management with Basecamp and MS Project
• strong competency with a variety of standard office software and various web server applications (Win, Mac, MySQL, Apache, etc)
