Tim Novinger’s Summary

I work in Fort Wayne, Indiana as a web developer for The Nichols Company—a small, creative and successful marketing agency. I have experience in
creating and managing standards compliant web sites, client and server side programming, social media, web design and server/client administration. I am the co-founder of the Screaming Monkeys Web Guild, a local web development professional group whose goal is to foster business networking, learning and creativity.

I spend most of my time in XHTML, CSS, Javascript (MooTools), PHP, and MySQL. I hand code everything according to web standards. Additionally, I have some experience with ColdFusion, and a little in ASP.

I tend to have an eye for details and I won't rest until every pixel is exactly where I want it to be. In fact, I pride myself on my ability to produce browser agnostic web sites. I love contemporary art and technology. My love for web design is a direct product of that as it's a perfect combination of both.

I'm a dad first and foremost—much of my time is spent with my daughter. Otherwise I'm a petrol head, and can be found hanging out with local car clubs or autocrossing. I also love photography, my friends, Twitter, and the Rachel Maddow show.
