Stuart Brown’s Summary

I have a broad range of experience within the gamut of web design and development, and a long-standing interest in the web. Since learning basic HTML around the dawn of the early popularisation of the internet, I have grown and developed skills in a range of supporting areas over the last decade.

I am an able C#/.NET developer, having worked in a professional .NET capacity since the beginning of 2007, and for 4 years prior to that working in a transitional Classic ASP environment. I also have comparably strong skills in OO PHP, principally from freelance work and my own pursuits.

Having studied the visual arts at college, and subsequently design at university, I have a solid grounding in 2D design, logotype design and typography. This is reflected in my strong visual web skills, including CSS, Photoshop, and Illustrator.

In addition to the above, I am well-versed in JavaScript / AJAX, in addition to other supporting web technologies (XML, CSS, Flash etc.)
