This page is to highlight work I did in which I may not have done any designing for a website, but did do production coding on large commercial websites. Some companies are still around, and some have gone to that great website in the sky.
My strengths are in HTML/XHTML and CSS and I find DHTML quite fun, once the crossbrowser issues have been dealt with. Familiar with basic Javascript functionality, I am able to take existing scripts, edit them and incorporate them into webpages.
I am a queen coder of tables. And my abilities to debug broken tables are unparalleled. :) Having said that I am on the bandwagon to begin using web standards.

As a Web Developer at Ofoto, I did edit numerous Cold Fusion pages.

At Digiscents I was the sole HTML person there. My title was Interface Developer.
In April of 2001 Digiscents faced the fate of many other dot-com startups. Digiscents Technology enabled scent to be exchanged over the internet. I witnessed the tecnology myself. It worked. Sort of. In any case, there was a lot of humor in trying to promote smelly websites.
I'm pretty particular about coding. I like to comment as much as possible so I can make sense of it when I return to the code several days, weeks, or months later.
A part of a ten-person webteam at Digiscents, I promoted the importance of searchable pages and fast downloads, over an overuse of unsearchable content, such as Flash. Even though Flash has its virtues, many users don't have the bandwidth yet.
While there, I single-handedly coded the scheduled facelift for the site. This was done by taking the Art Director's photoshop files and creating flat HTML pages. This facelift involved over a hundred pages. Near the end of my time there I supervised an intern javascript programmer.

At Linkify, as Interface Developer, I was a part of a small development team of 5. Together we developed the interface for the Linkify Service, a collaboration web application that allows users to share files and projects over the Internet. My prime responsibility was to create HTML templates flexible enough to be "skinned" so that the service could be private-labeled. My crossbrowser approach utilized simplified tables that sat within DIVs positioned with CSS. Once the templates were close to final, they were translated into Java Server Pages (JSP) by the programmers.
One accomplishment of mine was getting the team to seriously look at Dynamic Duo's API for DHTML. This approach enabled the interface to incorporate crossbrowser form field access, scrolling DIVs, automatic selection of checkboxes, and rollovers.
The Linkify site is not for public view, but you can view screenshots of the application while I was there on my site.
