Natasha Zabchuk’s Experience

• Web Developer

  DialoguePlus

  (Import and Export industry)

  May 2009 — Present (7 months)

  Migrating a bilingual site developed in FrontPage to Joomla. This involves not only changing the back-end architecture of the site to accommodate more security requirements, but re-branding the company. As with all projects, it will validate XHTML Strict 1.0 and be accessible up to Priority 2 (WAI).

• Webmaster

  Department of National Defence

  (Government Agency; Military industry)

  July 2007 — Present (2 years 5 months)

  Updating the content for 7 intranet/internet sites to the new CLF 2.0 standards. I self manage because my team currently has no official supervisor. I'm also looking to improve the usability and accessibility of the sites for the users and the people that will be maintaining them in the event of my departure.
  
  I am also the expert on accessibility best practices for my branch which involves training both the technical team and those writing the content (auditors and evaluators) who have little to no understanding of the W3C or WAI guidelines.
