Michael Montez’s Summary
My love of code can only topped by my love of running a division or product. The need to develop process, price, and production for new products, or to breath new life into stagnant products consumes me. I'm a control freak.
I am also a CSS and HTML expert, with experience in Web standards and cross-platform, cross-browser issues deployed on large-scale, high-volume websites. I have a strong visual and conceptual design sense with the ability to design comps and prototypes via Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. I have a strong business, marketing, and advertising education. My excellent problem solving skills and team-player attitude combined with my written and verbal communication skills make me a powerful employee and asset.
