- matt's 'short' resume
- I went to school for and have worked as a front-end developer for most of my career - I'm completely comfortable with semantic xhtml and cross-browser compatible css, as well as xml-driven flash interfaces and presentations, javascript and AJAX, PHP server-side scripting, and mySQL database integration. I'm currently interested in the latest version of Actionscript, AS3, as well as the jQuery javascript library.

Intel Retail Edge website
Live Site URL: retailedge.intel.com (site requires registration, only accessible by intel retail employees)
- job type
- Agency work at CMD Agency
- client
- Intel
- technology used
- flash actionscript, XML, XHTML, CSS, javascript (jquery)
- team position
- front-end developer, lead developer
I wasn't as involved in the first phase of this projet, which involved preparing a batch of about 2 dozen static pages that were handed off to another company to be worked in to the back-end .NET system already in place for the existing site. However, once that integration started, I lead the development team that identified and responded to issues that cropped up during that transitional phase - I worked closely with our counterparts at the other company, coordinated resources and directed activities to ensure that the work got done without anyone stepping on each other's toes.
Intel Retail Edge 'Challenge'
Live Site URL: retailedge.intel.com (site requires registration, only accessible by intel retail employees)
- job type
- Agency work at CMD Agency
- client
- Intel
- technology used
- flash actionscript, XML, localization
- team position
- front-end developer
Under different circumstances, this project would've been really simple - a shell that pulls in modules, and a simple quiz engine at the end. However, the IREP Challenge needs to be translated in to a dozen different languages - and all of this is handled dynamicly through a massive .NET back-end application, which generates an XML feed containing the translated contet.
So beyond the standard functionality for calling in external content and allowing the user to navigate and interact with the tool, I also had to deal with populating a massive amout of content as well as dynamicly loading and assigning fonts to textboxes based on the language. Nearly all of this code had to be written from scratch.
The nature of the Challenge calls for a new revision every month, and I've been working on it for 3 months.
Jeld-Wen 'door decor' tool
Live Site URL: www.jeld-wen.com/holiday (seasonal feature, may not neccesarily reflect my work in particular)
- job type
- Agency work at CMD Agency
- client
- Jeld-Wen
- technology used
- flash actionscript, XML
- team position
- front-end developer
The door decor tool simply assists potential door buyers to envision a Jeld-Wen door on their own home - they pick a facade style, a door style, and a seasonal decoration peice (mostly in the form of evergreen swags), then are given information about the selections they've made, as well as a prompt to begin the process of purchasing.
Vero Construction Management website
Live Site URL: vero-cm.com
- job type
- Agency work at CMD Agency
- client
- Vero
- technology used
- flash actionscript, XML, javascript, XHTML, CSS
- team position
- lead developer
The Vero site was very straight-forward build - about 20 static pages, built on a solid xhtml+css template base. I did the initial programming to establish the markup structure and style common elements, then handed it off to another developer to flow in all of the content and code the remaining pages.
One element worthy of note is the flash header - it's xml-driven, and dynamicly renders both the script title and the photos based on parameters the webmaster can change per page.
Spectrus Real Estate Group website
Live Site URL: spectrusgroup.com
- job type
- Agency work at CMD Agency
- client
- DBSI / Spectrus Group
- technology used
- xhtml, css, javascript, actionscript, xml
- team position
- front-end developer
This website was big and complicated, and I would never have been able to do it on my own. I was part of a great team, including: an account director, producer, creative director, technical director, lead devloper, flash designer, writer, and several others. Together we created a site that helpd establish the client's brand identity and position as major player in their field. Noteable areas that I had the most impact on were the semantic xhtml and css templates, javscript sorting of various tabular data sections, javscript handling of the salesmap navigation, and structure of the xst templates used to validate the content feed from the client's homemade CMS.
Spectrus Alliance website
Live Site URL: spectrusalliance.com (site now requires login, only a few public-facing pages visible)
- job type
- Agency work at CMD Agency
- client
- DBSI / Spectrus Group
- technology used
- xhtml, css, javascript
- team position
- front-end developer
The Alliance Portal was an earlier project I worked on at CMD for Spectrus Group. I provided the initial xhtml and css templates, then coded the javascript functionality and helped fill out the rest of the page styles and content markup.
