I am skilled in utilising all facets of web design and development including ASP.NET, Flash ActionScript, ASP, IIS, SQL Server, advanced accessible web development using HTML and CSS, JavaScript, VBScript, VBA, XML and CGI implementation. I have extensive knowledge of the Adobe CS3 suite.

I possess a strong programming and development background with knowledge of all aspects of overseeing and developing projects including initial design, programming, implementation and user-support - primarily achieved utilising contemporary web and programming technologies.

I have an excellent command of English, including exemplary grammar skills and a meticulous attention to detail. I continually strive to ensure high standards are met and consistency is maintained throughout an entire project.
