SharePoint, DotNetNuke, CRM, Affiliate and Social Media Manager, SEO, Contract Placements
Greater Grand Rapids, Michigan Area
I specialize in SharePoint, DotNetNuke, Social Networking Management, Social Media Marketing (including maintaining a region in Second Life,) Flash and ASP.Net. I am very adept at SEO and regularly place clients on page one of Google and Bing etc. I also have core expertise in the application of emerging Intranet, portal, enterprise search and content-management technologies to solve critical business problems and knowledge-management scenarios.
Another strength is recognizing the identity/target market of a business and translating that into a visual solution which grows revenue.
I also possess excellent copy writing and a proficient image manipulating skills (often required when clients fail to provide content for their sites.)
Even more - I have wide experience in general business, allowing me to understand the function of programming from the end user side as well. Together with over 15 years as a technology professional in a variety of roles, this gives me the ability to direct complex projects from concept to fully operational status.
I can bring experienced eyes to any project, large or small - they all get treated with the same care and attention.
