Chris Saccheri’s Experience
-
Director of Web Development
LinkedIn
(Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Internet industry)
December 2002 — Present (5 years 11 months)
Part of the founding team, I was LinkedIn's original web developer, handling all aspects of front-end development for the site's first two years. I'm still knee-deep in code, but now my primary responsibility is building our web development team into a well-oiled, semantic markup-loving, unobtrusive Javascript-writing machine. Vroom, vroom.

Freelance Web Designer and Developer
Self-employed
(Self-Employed; Myself Only; Internet industry)
February 2002 — Present (6 years 9 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.

SocialNet.com
(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Internet industry)
