Steven Vachon’s Summary
Software Engineer, Senior Flash Programmer, Web Developer, Graphics Designer specializing in building web applications.
Available for employment on a contract or freelance basis, Steven has 10+ years experience with handling all aspects of front-end development. Such includes UI programming and design, content organization, graphics/animation and "white hat" search engine optimization.
Possessing a strong background in programming and design, he is able to, from basic planning stages to final production, create user experiences that are not only functional but intuitive as well. Looking at Facebook or even LinkedIn, it's easy to see just how well simplicity and good organization can improve user retention. And after all, what good is an application that no one wants to use?
Quality, efficiency and commitment to on-time completion are of the highest priority. The importance of a night's rest is... sometimes of a lesser priority.
