Simon Rumble’s Summary

Content, community and online experience expert with highly technical skills. My main skill is being a technical geek who can communicate with mere mortals. It comes in handy in so many places.

Much of my focus these days is CMS integration and JavaScript coding. I've been getting my hands very dirty with JavaScript, specifically Prototype and Scriptaculous.

Simon Rumble’s Specialties:

Content creation and management, web analysis and design, user experience. JavaScript development and backend integration.


Simon Rumble’s Experience

  • Web & Business Systems Consultant

    AAPT

    (Public Company; 1001-5000 employees; Telecommunications industry)

    October 2007Present (1 year 1 month)

    Acting as the link between marketing and the technical areas, I gather requirements, design and help implement solutions for the web-based information, ordering and self-service functions. A major focus is on optimising the user experience within a very constrained environment, with an inflexible backend.

    Much of my work here has been writing glue code to get things working the way we need without going into the full develop-test-release cycle. Lots of workarounds and creative approaches.
