Chris Saccheri’s Experience

Director of Web Development

LinkedIn

(Privately Held; Internet industry)

December 2002 — Present (7 years )

Part of the founding team, I was LinkedIn's original web developer, solely responsible for all aspects of front-end development during the site's first few years. Today, I'm still knee-deep in code, but focused on building and leading a team of web development ninjas -- schooled in the arts of semantic markup and unobtrusive Javascript -- whose mission is to create a world-class user experience for LinkedIn's members.
Freelance Web Designer and Developer

Self-employed

(Self-Employed; Myself Only; Internet industry)

February 2002 — Present (7 years 10 months)

"Freelance" means I work from home and wear my pajamas. Previous clients have included startups, venture capital firms, and online marketing companies.

These days, though, I've cast aside the shackles of client work and spend my free time tinkering with LetsPolka.com -- a site devoted to accordion music, news, and events that I co-write with my wife.
Web Developer

QuinStreet, Inc.

(Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Internet industry)

February 2001 — May 2002 (1 year 4 months)

Singlehandedly designed and developed websites from start-to-finish: everything from creating the initial design comps to closing the last HTML tag. During my last few months here, I was responsible for scheduling and assigning tasks/projects to other members of the web development team.
Associate Editor

SocialNet.com

(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Internet industry)

January 2000 — February 2001 (1 year 2 months)

Managed SocialNet's content production process (writing/editing/building pages). Co-wrote and edited all communications to SocialNet's members, including newsletters, direct emails, help/guide text, and FAQs. Also helped build the GUI for new features.
