Welcome to my site.
So you want to know a bit more about me? Well you could always download my resume, but I guess is you want to know more about who I am not just what I have done.
Well I guess first things first. You should know I am an NPR fan girl so if your visit my house on the weekend prepare yourself for some Car Talk and this American Life. (Similarly if your wondering what I am listening on my ear phones in my cube likely it is npr, a podcast, or nothing – I usually work on 2 machines at the same time and have my ear buds for hear outlook alerts.)
I first got paid for my web development skills as an intern in 2000. So I feel entitled to say that I have been a web developer for over 10 years. I have done alot of work in front end development, coldfusion, php, web metrics, search engine marketing and various frameworks / cms. I enjoy learning more about new technologies – such as new languages and platforms.
I also enjoy social media. I have several personal accounts, some I use socially and some I created just to try out the service. At work I am currently struggling with how to find meaningful metrics from these services. It it reminds me of search engine optimization in the early 2000′s. Trying to figure out what information we can gather and what that information means.
Over all I like what I do. If I won the lottery tomorrow – Ok I can’t imagine winning the lottery, that is actually not something I would want. (Mo’ Money Mo’ Problems right?) But if i was suddenly in a position where I didn’t have to worry about earning a living. I would still want to work with internet technologies.
About my site
I have to confess it is in a constant state of flux and has been since I originally built it many many moons ago (ok earth cycles around the sun). Sometimes it will function better then other times. I will try to post an update as to why and what is going on.
Current Site Events
- Trying to increase site speed, as a result I am experimenting with different themes and caching plug-ins
- Migrating my network of sites to a new hosting provider, in large part because of performance
- An honest effort of organize my content is ongoing, and as a result much of my content is currently not public.
Site Navigation
I am currently using custom menus to define my main site navigation and I have been playing with labels. Here is an explanation of what the labels mean
- About – my homepage, which you are reading right now!
- Resume – A copy of my most recent resume can be found there.
- Web Projects – Blog posts of projects I have worked on, I have them organized by employer – most are not currently public
- Scratch Pad – This is actually another blog I maintain – where I keep my notes and work in progress (really a collection of code snippets). Some content lives there forever, some gets cleaned up and re-posted here.
- Client Login – the login page to my project management software
