Gabe Harris’s Summary

I enjoy both the creative aspects of working as a web or user interface designer and the problem solving mentality required when programming for the web. I have a unique combination of skills and experience that make me very diverse and valuable to many areas of a company's Internet presence. There is no challenge I cannot overcome, and no obstacle I am afraid to attack. My experience includes designing new and maintaining existing interactive web sites using PHP, ASP, ASP.NET, Ajax, JavaScript, MS SQL Server, and MySQL. While I am more than willing to contribute to a team environment, I also thrive on taking sole ownership of projects from development to roll-out.
