matt lohkamp’s Summary

Focus on front-end web technologies, especially the interplay between javascript, xml, and actionscript in terms of building web applications that provide a service as opposed to just serving content. Experience with everything from the most basic of table-based html emails to complex CMS-driven templated sites.

matt lohkamp’s Experience

• senior executive (web) developer

  Matt Lohkamp LLC

  (Internet industry)

  May 2008 — Present (1 year 7 months)

  Are you ready for some acronyms and abbreviations and buzzwords? AS3, JS, XHTML, CSS, AJAX, jQuery, PHP, MySQL, WordPress, apps, widgets, blogs, feeds, APIs, et cetera. These are all things that I'm capable of doing - things that I've done, things that I don't see any reason not to continue doing in the foreseeable future. So whether I'm working solo or as part of a team, on a project that integrates a CMS and dozens of pages or just a little photo slideshow for a single page, even if I'm not having fun... I'm probably enjoying myself on one level or another, because web-dev is something I looooove to do.

• Interactive Developer

  CMD Agency

  (Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Marketing and Advertising industry)

  September 2006 — May 2008 (1 year 9 months)

  I try to split my time fairly evenly between front-end web development (xhtml, css, and javascript) and flash development (for website interfaces and presentation tools). Also, as a member of the interactive and developers groups within the company I create content for the CMD Wiki, which serves as a repository of knowledge for employees and clients.

• Computer Lab Monitor

  The Art Institute of Portland

  (Educational Institution; 1001-5000 employees; Education Management industry)

  July 2006 — September 2006 (3 months)

  Lab Monitors wander around the dozen or so computer labs, performing the following duties: ensuring computer hardware is functioning properly, helping students with software problems, and tracking usage of computer resources over the course of the day.

• The Art Institute of Portland

  IMD , web dev and a bit of UX , 2004 — 2010 (expected)

• The Art Institute of Portland

  front-end interactive design and development 2004 — 2009

  The Art Institute put me in contact with a handful of extremely smart people, both instructors and students, who have perhaps more then anything else contributed to the skills and interest in my field that I now possess.
