Senior Content Developer/Photographer, March 2014 - Current
Initially hired as a replacement front-end developer, my role here has evolved to encompass quite a number of new responsibilities in addition to continuing to have my expected developer responsibilities, such as becoming the go-to person for developing custom HTML emails for our clients. I am now a significant part of the company's new Content Studio where I manage the company's photography and videography equipment, participate in shoots as the director of photography, edit videos, and have even dipped into more experimental content such as a "hologram" which we constructed for a large company event.
Front-End Developer, June 2012 - January 2014
Originally brought on as an intern for the June - August cycle, I was hired on full-time after my time as an intern was up. I was responsible for assisting in developing web pages from scratch utilizing comps from the design department, as well as jumping on projects that required additional resources mid-development. I frequently volunteered to work on mobile development portions, as I enjoyed the challenge of creating responsive web pages that could be enjoyed across a variety of devices.
