Colony has demonstrated its ability to adapt over nearly a century of technological and societal changes. I would like to see Colony Brands remain a powerful player in the catalog industry. To meet this goal, as a web developer, I’d apply knowledge of design-oriented, mobile-responsive, single-page applications to the Colony infrastructure.
In my early career, I worked my way up to management level positions in small and mid-sized organizations while simultaneously studying to earn degrees in higher education. In recent years, I worked as a freelance writer. To stay competitive, I took it upon myself to master front-end web development skills. My favorite project, because it was the most challenging, was creating a SPA (single-page application) using the Google Maps API and any other third-party API. This SPA uses jQuery’s library and knockoutJS’s two-way data-binding to create a scalable application. JSON requests get data from foursquare to populate map marker windows. Bootstrap makes the app a dynamic, mobile-responsive site that can be used on desktop or mobile devices.
I really enjoyed the process of creating something out of nothing. Web development can be the place where art and technology intersect. The place where user interfaces uplift the user’s experience. This is what drives me to develop, and this is the discipline I’d bring to Colony. I seek employment with a forward-thinking organization that can adapt to changing markets and endure volatile economies. I think that Colony Brands is that kind of company.
My goal is to surround myself with talented and enthusiastic colleagues in an environment that encourages individual and group-oriented growth. I value volunteering and participate in community enrichment by tutoring math students and serving as a board member at The Literacy Connection. I believe that we are at our best when we share our time and talents with others.
At Colony, I hope to combine creative and technical talents to elevate clients’ goodwill with superior user experiences. I look forward to speaking with you in the near future.
Sincerely,
