Jason Schock’s Summary
Experienced Web developer with broad knowledge of everything it takes to get a Web project online, from design to deployment. My interests now are focused in user experience (UX) design and product development.
I've worked for a variety of companies over the years - startup atmosphere is preferred. Hire me if you need a dedicated, independent person who delivers polished, professional results with high attention to detail. Don't hire me if you just need "a programmer."
