Jonathan Surratt’s Experience

• Web Director

  DRAFT Magazine

  (Wine and Spirits industry)

  August 2008 — Present (1 year 4 months)

  At DRAFT I am responsible for all site development and overseeing all third party development projects. I am also responsible for much of the online marketing and promotions for the brand.

• Chief Cartography Officer

  The Beer Mapping Project

  (Internet industry)

  October 2005 — Present (4 years 2 months)

  Not only am I the president, but I am also a client.
  
  I am responsible for all development and documentation for all applications throughout the Beer Mapping Project's site.
  
  Two versions of the site have been built, a normal browser based site, and a mobile browser based site. Both versions of the site are utilizing Google's mapping API's (the mobile version is using the static mapping api). A third version/application written in Java on the Android Platform is also in development.
  
  Development of the site is fully my responsibility, but I have also built custom administration tools that have allowed me to bring a few (unpaid, but hard working) moderators on that can edit all locations in the database. There are tools that help these moderators with geocoding or manipulating the coordinates of all locations.
  
  I have become used to providing my own documentation for my development projects, since there is no one else that has been available to do so. I also have managed all optimization and marketing that has occurred for the site thus far.
