Consultant/Lead Consultant - Spherion Corporation, Technology Group

Lead Consultant in the Enterprise Applications Integration practice.

Lead Consultant on a four- to seven-developer team responsible for the four sites in the Element K's Training.com product family. Training.com provided a customer-specific look-and-feel on top of a simple information and application architecture while maintaining a segregation of content from presentation code. My responsibilities included being the primary requirements interface with the client, creation of design documentation, and review of all code and code documentation. (Training.com has since been deprecated in deference to Element K's next-generation "Knowledge Hub" product family.) All server-side development was done using ASP with VBScript. (Salaried contractor.)
Experience

Web Developer – Xelus, Inc.

Provided web development support for the Marketing and IT departments. (Reported to the Manager of Internet Communications.) (Note: Xelus, Inc. has since been dissolved.)

Developed and documented new presentation layer architecture for the Xelus, Inc. corporate website (formerly at http://www.xelus.com/). Primary design goals were ease of maintenance by non-technical personnel, and ability to easily alter site-wide look and feel. Both were achieved through careful segregation of content, presentation code, and information architecture. Development required extensive work in ASP, using VBScript and a few third-party components, as well as client-side code for forms validation and browser compatibility detection. (Documentation and code samples available.)
Worked with the Manager of Internet Communications and sales and marketing support personnel to create site functionality supporting sales and marketing initiatives.
Developed a web-based employee directory for internal use at Xelus, Inc., using Microsoft's ADSI to access an LDAP directory of employee data.
