Web Developer / SEO & SEM Specialist at Fish Marketing Inc
Portland, Oregon Area
I enjoy building advanced data driven or just good old static, standards based web sites. My current focus is coordinating back end application design with Search Engine Optimization and ongoing Ad Words campaign management in such a way as to regularly increase the clients customer base and produce real conversions.
I'm also an experienced CSS, XHTML, Javascript, Ajax developer who, among other technologies, loves RubyOnRails application design. With years in the field I've had the opportunity to work with everything from .Net, PHP, Rails, and Flex. I'm comfortable generating well structured, standards compliant, easily readable, SEO friendly HTML from custom application architectures to out of the box CMS's. All this with an eye toward staying true to the designers original vision whether that is communicated through a flat PSD file, or by hand sketched mock-ups and client interviews.
