I communicate well with designers and developers, making sure no UI details are left out or forgotten
I understand usability and accessibility, ensuring that the content is available to all
I'm constantly pushing myself to learn and read more about the direction the web is heading
For Example:
Emails in old school HTML with a dash of CSS, which I've done for HSN, US Bank, and Norm Thompson
Web sites in XHTML, CSS2, and JavaScript, such as my work at Regence BlueCross BlueShield and Tripwire
Web sites in HTML5 with some CSS3 to add some goodies for audience members using modern browsers

This site is coded in HTML5 with CSS3. It is my personal spot on the web to experiment with new technologies, so it may not look great in every browser.
I was brought on to the InstantAction team to fill in while an employee was on vacation. During my time I skinned a Facebook application, the checkout pages to match a new design as well as laying out the new coming soon page that went live my last day on contract.
Tripwire.com
I was brought on board at Tripwire to help with the complete redesign of the website. I wrote XHTML and CSS to complete pages from designs and code structured by an outside vendor. In addition to this I worked with the ColdFusion developers to ensure that all dynamic portions of the site retained the look and feel dictated by the style guide.
vwire.com
I came onto the vWire team after the website and product had launched. I cleaned up the front end code, implementing a search engine optimization plan that an outside vendor had compiled as well as bringing as much of the site as possible up to web standards. In addition I worked with the marketing team to implement new pages and do design for new banners, pages and sections.
Price by Provider
The Price by Provider feature combined both the Health Cost Estimator with the Enhanced Provider Profiles, allowing members to search for estimates on particular procedures and see how much they would pay if they saw a particular provider. On this project I was responsible for hand coding all the HTML and CSS for the project and then working with the developers to make sure the design remained intact as it became dynamic. Cross browser testing was also required for the browsers supported by myRegence.com.
Dirty Snowflake Apparel
This website functions as an online brochure for retailers interested in selling the clothing. My role was to design the layout, hand code the HTML and CSS, along with implementing JavaScript solutions for interactivity.
Health Cost Estimator
The Health Cost Estimator was a new feature built for the site myRegence.com, a website for members of Regence Health Insurance. I worked with a large team on this project doing the front end development for all new pages and changes to existing pages. This included hand coding all HTML and CSS, working with Java developers to insure the look and feel remained intact throughout the entire process. It also included a close relationship with Quality Assurance to ensure the design held up in all browsers supported by myRegence.com.
Enhanced Provider Profile
The Enhanced Provider Profiles was a project to update the look and feel of the Provider Search experience on myRegence.com. My role in this project was to take the finished designs and hand code them in HTML and CSS, correcting any browser bugs in the process. The project was completed by a large team and I remained involved with the Java Developers and Quality Assurance through the release, continuing to help with any design and cross browsers issues that came up as the application was developed.
