I have over 10 years of experience in Web programming and design and have completed a diverse range of projects, from small personal Web pages to large corporate intranets. My principal areas of expertise are HTML coding and overall Web site organization and planning. I'm adept at taking ideas from clients or existing published materials and translating them into workable Web-based solutions. With strong expertise in graphic design for the Web, I craft interfaces that are elegant and pleasing to the eye, while highly functional and efficient. I also have experience in Web site-database integration and in using various multimedia technologies to add dynamic content to sites.
