Work Experience:

Rich Media Developer – R2C Group

From June 2007-Present. At R2C Group, I do Front-End web development in the form of HTML, CSS and Javascript. I also work on assorted “rich media” projects including filming & editing – often assisting the Production department or acting as a technical liaison between the Interactive department and Post Production departments. On a daily basis I create content, mockups and graphic design for corporate websites, email newsletters & social media collateral. I’m a tireless advocate of good design, standards-based code and cross-browser compatibility.

Producer – The Penny Jam

From March. 2008-June 2010. As the Producer and co-founder of “the Penny Jam,” a Portland-based music video podcast, I oversaw a variety of technical and people-oriented tasks. Over the course of the series we delivered 30 finely-crafted episodes – each one featuring a different Portland band in a different unconventional location. Among my tasks: conception, graphic design, web development for http://thepennyjam.com , maintenance of the podcast XML in iTunes, correspondence via email, Twitter and Facebook accounts. I was one of the two cameramen on every shoot, and the primary contact for all crew, bands and location owners.

Editor in Chief – Oregon Voice Magazine

From Sept. 2005-June 2006.As the Editor of Oregon Voice, a University of Oregon student magazine, my primary duty was organizing a team of approximately 20 writers, artists and photographers. Our task: to create quality journalistic content to be published in the 6-times-per-year print publication. In addition to planning and editing, I helped define the overall design and tone of the publication. As the bookkeeper of a $12,000 annual budget, I was the representative of our group when interacting with student government. I was closely involved in all phases of production, including the delivery of digital files for use in commercial offset printing.

Technology Consultant – Center for Educational Technologies

From Sept. 2003-Aug. 2006.The Center for Educational Technologies is a computer lab at the University of Oregon that provides software training and support to UO faculty and staff.

Working in this environment improved my ability to explain complex technical problems in a straightforward fashion.
