Joe Murphy’s Experience
-
Senior Developer
The Denver Post
(Privately Held; 201-500 employees; Online Media industry)
October 2006 — Present (1 year 10 months)
I do web development (front- and back-end) for www.denverpost.com. It's a mix of database, Python and PHP work, site troubleshooting and QA, and front-end CSS / HTML work. Every once in a while they let me write an online poll for the site.

Senior Online Producer
Winston-Salem Journal
(Public Company; 201-500 employees; Online Media industry)
January 2004 — October 2006 (2 years 10 months)

Web Designer and Developer
Joe Design, Inc. (Self-employed)
(Self-Employed; 1-10 employees; Design industry)
September 2001 — August 2006 (5 years)
This is where I learned to do web stuff. I designed site templates, did the HTML and CSS to make 'em work on the web, and built the back-end CMS' to administer the information. Also I handled sales, other freelancers, and the accounting side of the business. There were plenty of hats to wear here and I learned from each of them.

Joe Murphy’s Honors:
I built a database-driven site that took a state database on home healthcare violations and organized it in a way that was useful to people. It won two awards: an Online News Association award for Service Journalism, small sites and an Editor and Publisher award (EPPY) for Best Internet Community Service Effort under 1 million unique monthly visitors. Woot.
