Mike West’s Experience

• Senior Web Developer

  Sueddeutsche Zeitung

  (Privately Held; Newspapers industry)

  January 2009 — Present (11 months)

  I'm not quite sure what, exactly, my role is yet. I suspect that it will involve a lot of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP.

• Web Developer

  Yahoo!

  (Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; YHOO; Internet industry)

  November 2006 — December 2008 (2 years 2 months)

• Managing Editor

  Digital Web Magazine

  (Non-Profit; 1-10 employees; Internet industry)

  July 2006 — December 2006 (6 months)

• Application Engineer

  RightNow

  (Public Company; RNOW; Computer Software industry)

  March 2005 — January 2006 (11 months)

  I worked directly with clients to customize RightNow's CRM software to meet their needs, and to integrate it into pre-existing systems. My role ranged from making small tweaks to RightNow's UI, up to sweeping rewrites that created completely new functionality.

• Web Programmer

  Dallas Airmotive

  (Public Company; Airlines/Aviation industry)

  August 2003 — March 2005 (1 year 8 months)

  I helped design and implement Turbine Update: a suite of applications responsible for everything from internal ticket tracking for the IT and maintenance departments to a client-facing ERP system allowing customers to track their engines' repair status.
  
  My responsibilities included aspects of the project's entire life-cycle, including gathering initial requirements, documenting specifications, designing database models, building various user interfaces, writing large chunks of the backend, and squashing annoying bugs. I also wrote the end-user documentation.
