Employment History
Adventure Web Interactive
February 2019 to Present
Senior Web Developer
After earning my certificate at Anne Arundel Community College, I took on an internship here at Adventure Web. Over the course of five years, I have managed to climb up to the position of Senior Web Developer while working on incredibly diverse projects, ranging from small sites with a very short turnaround, to very large-scale e-commerce and other web applications. All sites are built using HTML, CSS, JS/jQuery, PHP, and MySQL. Due to my programming experience, I am responsible for projects that could be described as a mix of front-end and back-end work. Usually, they are extremely front-end intensive projects with moderate back-end complexity.
With recent changes in staffing, I have also taken on responsibilities generally seen as Systems Administration related. This involves configuring our servers for new projects, troubleshooting server issues, migration of website’s/databases, and managing DNS for clients.
Over the past two years, another massive responsibility I have taken on is working alongside our Internal Marketer and/or our client’s marketers to implement tracking for a wide range of user behaviors. Most of this tracking is for Google products, but I have also added tracking and implemented other types of connections with Facebook and Bing.

Portfolio
All themes are built from a bare-bones boilerplate using HTML, PHP, MySQL and CSS, and are populated via WordPress core fields, third party APIs, or Advanced Custom Fields. The items below that mention building the theme refer to the creation of the header, homepage, footer, and interior templates in pure HTML, PHP, JS/jQuery and CSS. This leaves WordPress to manage just the content alone, while our theme takes care of the front-end. In recent years, my responsibilities have shifted from strictly front-end development to both front and back-end development.

I have been almost solely responsible for the creation, maintenance, and enhancement of this site. It features a custom-built theme, a custom navigation to list products, and a spare parts portal locked behind a password.
