I began my relationship with Orbitz as a contract-to-hire candidate. After the first two months of my contract, Orbitz offered me a full-time position. I was hired as an Engineer 1 for the User Interface Engineering group. My accomplishments include developing the CheapTickets tab header, writing the first DHTML calendar for Orbitz and all secondary brands, and co-developing the search forms for air/hotel/car/package searches.

In early 2006, I was promoted to Engineer 2. I began work on the "new platform" for Orbitz: our international white-label travel site. I wrote a large portion of the JavaScript to support air/hote/car/package searches, including the Ajax functionality. I also completed project work and prototyping to support feature development for Orbitz.

In early 2008, I was promoted to Senior User Interface Engineer. My daily tasks include feature work for Orbitz, as well as offering expertise in the areas of JavaScript, prototyping, and domain architecture.
