SUMMARY:

• Use grid based framework for responsive design to work across mobile, tablet, and desktop. Also develop frameworks that are non - grid based but mobile specific.
• Create architecture based on OOCSS for large scale projects where multiple projects were pulling from the same source code.
• Created modular CSS components for re-useability. Components must “live by themselves and together.” Also, incorporated mobile first standards or desktop first standards depending on needs.
• Optimize load times by using tools and organizing CSS and JS properly.
• Develop applications using HTML5 and CSS3 using object oriented CSS with LESS or SASS compilers. Architect frameworks from scratch as well as build upon frameworks for manageable code.
• Use JavaScript libraries such as Jquery and more to load front end web development. Write custom jquery/javascript code for custom elements and functionality.
• Understand and experience working within Javascript frameworks like Backbone, Knockout, Angular and utilizing javascript tasks runners like Grunt or Gulp.
• Write prototypes and develop app in Cordova using single source code written in javascript, html, css and some native code based on functionality.
• Advanced skills in multi browser (Webkit, Gecko, Trident, Opera) and multi device (tablet, mobile, android vs. iOS) functionality and advanced skills in debugging problems dealing with browser specific issues and/or device specific issues.
• Experience updating website to be ADA compliant
• Experience with multi-layout responsive design across multiple device widths using a grid based or non-grid based. Experience designing multiple layouts at once. For example, mobile, tablet, and desktop.
• Experience with design updates to work within complicated websites. For example, client wants a mobile first design but the page is desktop first.
• Experience using illustrator to create vector based images to convert to SVG for optimial web performance.
• Experience designing with Photoshop and Illustrator
• Experience prototyping using CSS/HTML/JS to demonstate a design
• Experience working with clients on design and finding alternatives designs to fit within development standards.
