Mike Duncan: SEO / ASP.NET / C# / CSS / JQuery guy.
Whats up? Since you bothered to click through for a peek, here’s the skinny:
I’m the lead web developer for an ad agency in located Glastonbury CT, USA. The company has been around for quite a while and if you live anywhere in New England, you’ve can’t help but to have seen our TV spots, print work, and collateral sites. A lot of household names, fairly cool.
With agency work there’s a lot of front-endy emphasis. I spend a good amount of my time working with designers, Flash dudes, CSS & JQuery wrangling, which is an interesting departure from my last few jobs which were more heavily middle-tiered C# OOP monolithic e-commerce affairs. That kind of work is rewarding in it’s own way as well, looking for optimizations of speed or new ROI generating features, but in retrospect I’d now say, … less sexy.
I’ve written and work on some sites with millions of unique visitors a month, some that never see the light of day. It’s all pretty awesome.
In previous job incarnations I was:
- The main tech guy in a hot little SEO swat-team arguing incessantly over the compromises needed to do well in the ecommerce game. SEO vs. design vs. usability vs. speed vs. conversion.
- A dashing C# application developer of a credit card transaction component for a large, unnamed application.
- A Java / .jsp guy building intranet systems like time and billing and the ever popular Java / Oracle backend football / ncaa pools.
- A charming Solaris / Linux system administrator.
- A Perl / scripty dude.
Naturally, I was an English / Philosophy major.
I have a Ms. Pacman standup arcade game in my kitchen.
I have mulitple ass-kicking border collies.
