Freelance web design and development for various companies, organizations, and personal projects.

As a Development Manager within Interactive Development, I managed a team of front-end/ middle-tier developers embedded within Agile Scrum teams on projects that ranged from core Product Page enhancements, through a wholesale rewrite of our checkout architecture and user experience. In addition to project and team leadership duties, I maintain a depth of functional and academic knowledge in web development technologies and practices, primarily with HTML5, CSS3, Javascript (native and frameworks), accessibility practices, and responsive design.

Technical Development Manager

As a Project Manager in Nordstrom E-Commerce Technology, I led a team of business analysts in requirements gathering for the selection of a Digital Asset Management product in conjunction with a Web Content Management solution. This included as-is documentation, gap analysis, SIPOC, and finally recommendations on process solutions. In addition to leading this analysis effort, I was deeply engaged in the selection process and trial integrations of multiple WCM solutions.

Project Manager

As the Production Support manager, I managed a team of business analysts and was responsible for all production incidents, determining priority and impact, communicating to all levels of leadership, and facilitating issue resolution. Responsibility for the NORDSTROM.com e-commerce platform encompassed support for internal and external systems that support item setup, item categorization, item and content publishing, deployment involvement, and more. This role regular worked with over 15 different groups across executive leadership, business, technology, and the contact center; building and maintaining relationships with these groups was a key part to the role on top of the responsibilities for technical support and execution.

Project Manager - Production Support

The Site Development Manager role was responsible for managing the flow of all work items that came through the Interactive Development team. The ability to size work efforts, negotiate capacity, and manage urgent issues/requests was crucial to my ability to lead the team.

Site Development Manager

As a developer on the Interactive Development team, I focused on many front-end technologies, with a constant eye towards standards-compliant code, maintainability, reusability, and client-side performance. All development was hand-coded without a WYSIWYG tool.

Web Developer

As an entry position into the Interactive Development team, I was responsible for testing all content changes to NORDSTROM.com. In addition to the core responsibilities of the Tester role, I created and maintained a web-based manual and troubleshooting guide for the Front-End Testing position (I was the only tester at the time). Closer to my transition into a development role, I used my available bandwidth to take on simple HTML/XML updates and image changes.

Front-end Web Tester

Over my time at the contact center I had several roles. Starting out I was responsible for taking customer orders and assisting with order issues/inquiries. A short time after, I took on mentor duties which included assisting with addressing complex order research inquiries, training new hires, and taking customer escalations. In December 2005 I moved to another department at the contact center that had an added focus on supporting other agents and customers with technical issues on NORDSTROM.com and interactions with our Drop Ship team. I was also fortunate to spend a week in Cedar Rapids, IA at our Fulfillment/Contact Center during Holiday 2005 to help with customer escalations and the seasonal Contact Center agents in their first Holiday season.

Universal Agent / Web Desk Specialist

Within the Mechanical Engineering department, I was responsible for purchase, setup, and support of the 5 student computer labs (approx. 85 machines). I also took on support for staff machines, network management, and assisted faculty members with technical issues as they arose.
