I am a web generalist currently wearing the hat of user experience designer at Apptio. I do a lot of front-end design while trying to build a fully iterative UX lifecycle into an enterprise software development team. It’s a team of kick-ass Java developers running GWT with a couple of web folks (like me) reminding them that application development isn’t web development.
Previously I worked as a web developer at the University of Washington for just short of a decade. I’m still a fellow traveller with the higher ed web community (or at least they let me hang around if I’m paying for the drinks).
My core code skill set is HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and XML/XSLT. I am a staunch advocate for web accessibility and usability, and I’ve given multiple presentations at major conferences about the web.
In my non-work life I hang out with my wife and daughter and attend way too many Mariners games.
Also, I like nectarines.
