Collaborated with instructional and visual designers in an Agile workflow to create dynamic and interactive web-based learning experiences for Fortune 500 accounts including Microsoft, Amazon and Biogen Idec. Utilized an ever-expanding skill set including HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery to code e-learning applications from Illustrator, Photoshop and PowerPoint design comps.Throughout my employment at Sublime Media, I was instrumental in shaping stand-out products showcased by company owners at trade shows and marketing presentations. I consistently met deadlines and delivered quality, self-tested code that saved the QA department hours of bug-regression. Through effective communication across departments and with stakeholders of various technical knowledge levels, I contributed valuable input and feedback throughout project life-cycles from storyboard to final delivery.I began my employment with Sublime Media as an intern in October 2013 and was brought on as a full time employee in February 2014. I left the company to pursue new opportunities in February 2015. During my time there, my skill set has expanded and my network has multiplied . I appreciate my experience working with the wonderful team at Sublime, as well as everyone's support in helping me move forward.
