Experience Summary

My primary experience in web development is the 9 years I worked for Unfinished Furniture Showcase. I developed the entire e-commerce website back-end and design. Our original site was launched shortly before the original furniture.com store closed down, claiming it was not feasible to sell furniture online. I created a profitable e-commerce platform that proved this otherwise.

In addition to the fully featured customer-facing web store, I also developed an secure, private online platform that integrated with the sales software at each of the four store locations in order to track and report on daily sales and inventory management.

All of the necessary skills to build and design this site were self-taught, offering testament to the fact that I am willing and able to quickly learn new skills and programming languages that can be applied in real world applications.

I have worked on a variety of web projects, several of which are featured in the gallery below.
