    I work with a wide range of front-end tools and technologies to create products and custom experiences that enable attendees to check in at in-person and virtual events and often include completely unique event branded name badges. I also update existing server-side asp.net web applications for easier navigation and data presentation.A typical day often involves switching gears between the following areas:- Front-end development: 40%- Server-side development in asp.net and telerik controls: 30%- Per-project brand asset management, customization and data modeling: 30%Projects include:- UI refersh to support Lightning components of an existing salesforce appexchange published app and sheparding it through the security review process.- Custom lead capture collection using Ionic Framework to capture barcode data at tradeshows and lookup the complete information from the registration APIs for more timely treament of qualified leads.- iPad and Chromebook apps for attendees at salesforce.com and Google Atmosphere events in major US cities, London, Paris, and Munich.

    I worked with operations and development teams answering user support requests and filing bug reports for a divergent set of software, from a legacy enterprise survey publishing tool, to custom trade show lead capture forms and their integration into SalesForce.com. The trade show industry, in which most of the software is used, is very seasonal so some months are busier on the support, building, testing side than others.A typical day involved:- Content creation, both UI and functionality (html, css, photoshop) : 30%- Web development (html, css, javascript) : 30%- Application builds/testing : 30%- Customer Phone/E-mail support (rotating 24x7 queue) : 10%A couple of larger solutions I built:- An iPad app for attendees at SalesForce.com meet-ups (US cities, London, Paris, and Sydney) that read QR codes to check registrants into the events and print badges for several thousand attendees per event (makes heavy use of Twitter Bootstrap).- Last-minute online surveys for McDonald's Managers' convention to gauge satisfaction with 2008-11 event locations and speakers.
