Dennis Whiteman’s Summary
I'm a generalist. As an ex-journalist, my writing skills are above average and my editing skills are excellent, but I also possess the technical expertise to create dynamic web sites from scratch and track down problems with php, html and CSS code. Having bought my first Mac in 1985, I am an expert in all versions of Mac OS, including Leopard and Leopard Server.
I have an outstanding understanding of the dynamic, changing nature of the web, but I also have the teaching experience to build and create content for those who just don't get it. Uniquely, I transitioned from filmmaking to the web about 15 years ago. I'm not just looking for a job, but for something that can challenge me for the rest of my professional life.
Can you challenge me?

Hired to reinvent the collegiate newspaper that I originally put online in 1996 into a modern media journalism teaching tool, including a content management system based on Wordpress to support the publication of the newspaper, blogs, podcasts and video clips.

This project also involved developing a revenue stream through the hiring and management of student programmers, student advertising sales people and student content producers.
