Anthony Wright’s Summary

Experience:
I have extensively been involved with the planning, developing and maintaining website in LAMP environment. Most of my experience is in developing PHP/MySQL driven sites, and have extensive knowledge and experience with HTML, CSS, XHTML, DHTML, JavaScripting and AJAX. I have also professionally worked with PERL, Oracle, ASP (classic), MSSQL and MS Access sites.

I am a strong supporter of software engineering derived methodologies applied to website design and planning. I believe that a successful project should be appropriately managed with a clear stated goal, milestones, and adequate resources to be accomplished on time and in budget. I feel that the lack of such management is why most web development projects run over on both time and cost.

Goals:
My goal is to seek employment at any company that values the developer and all employees, that is well managed and that listens to all the people involved in a project. My hope is to be a valuable asset within the company while still being given opportunities to advance both my career and my skill sets. I hope to return to school to earn a Masters in Information Technology or Information Systems in order to further my career. Many years later, I hope to return to school for an MBA in order to move into a managerial role.
