Jeremy Sisson: Freelance Web Developer
My Work
I am a web developer, and have many years of experience designing and building web applications. I have worked in small and large companies, startups, and formal engineering environments, as well as worked freelance for a number of years.
I develop primarily in PHP, and I am an expert in design and development up and down the web stack, including databases, scripting and UI.
The projects I develop typically include standard web technologies such as XHTML/CSS, Javascript, Ajax, and involve all the fancy bells and whistles that web users expect from modern applications. The majority of my experience lies in building content management systems, online directories and database-driven applications for both large organizations and small startups.
I also provide freelance web development services.
