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.
