OBJECTIVE To work remotely as a Front-End Web developer, developing sites and applications using any combination of the following web technologies: HTML5, CSS3, jQuery/MooTools/vanilla JavaScript, Backbone.js, Handlebars.js, APIs, responsive web design; to enjoy my work with an organization that prides itself on using forward-thinking practices.
PROFILE Hugo is a Front-End Web Developer with sixteen years of programming experience; enjoys the comforts of thin clients (browsers) and beefing them up into thick(er) clients via MVC JavaScript when appropriate; he loves dealing with cross-browser compatibility issues (yes, this includes IE 6/7/8), animations/effects, and slicing & dicing Photoshop/Fireworks comps into functional prototypes; is keen on branching out into the mobile field to develop iOS apps and potentially Android as well; has developed his own MVC framework using PHP and MySQL on his own VPS that uses CentOS. Hugo possesses strong business acumen and an ability to see the bigger picture with regard to project outcome; enjoys Rock, Trance. Alternative, KUSC's The Opera Show on Saturday mornings, and sometimes a little Hootie & the Blowfish; is a Hammer Thrower and Scottish Highland Games athlete; finds learning French and German exciting and somewhat enjoys speaking in the third person on his resume.
