Williamsport Media Developer

Robert S. Robbins

I am a freelance web developer based in Williamsport PA. I have worked as a web developer for small firm. I currently work as a programmer.

Experience

I have extensive experience in web development on the Windows platform. I specialize in ASP.NET web applications and can program in C# or VB.NET. I also have considerable experience with SQL Server. I have delved into some obscure aspects of SQL Server such as User-Defined Functions, SSIS Packages, and Report Server. I've also dabbled in PHP and MySQL with special consideration for CakePHP, Elgg, Joomla, MediaWiki, Ning, PhpMotion, and WordPress.

Skills

Although I work primarily as a programmer, I have a wide variety of skills and don't limit myself to coding. I study every aspect of web development and try to master them all. My greatest strength and principal skill is programming so I have learned many programming languages and techniques for web application development. Since every web application requires a database I have also acquired a lot of knowledge about the two most popular databases for web applications; SQL Server and MySQL. I spend a lot of time working on a database schema, writing complicated queries, and backing up data.

Design

My work does not give me as much opportunity to be creative as I would like. I do feel a natural affinity for design so I am increasingly devoting my time to studying web design. I have learned everything there is to know about CSS although I still browse the Internet for additional tips and tricks. I use Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, After Effects, and Flash.

Video

I've been closely following the rise of online video as the Internet becomes an entertainment platform. I am heavily involved in the social networking aspect of online video. I am well known in the small vlogging community. I am currently providing some technical support to the Vloggerheads Ning site and hope to participate in the development of an independent platform for vloggers.

Summary

As you can see, I am skilled in all aspects of web development. I maintain an entrepreneur's interest in technology and don't limit myself to a narrow specialty.
