Mike Laurel. Web Developer UI / UX Engineer.

SUMMARY  

I'm  a  seasoned  web  developer  and  entrepreneur  with  over  15   years  of  professional  experience.    A  visual  diagram  of  my  work   experience  is  illustrated  below.    

The  ideal  job  would  allow  me  to  continue  working  in  a  web   developer  capacity,  building  mobile-­‐first  responsive  websites  and   web  applications.    With  the  overwhelming  rise  of  mobile,  I  also   bring  an  immeasurable  amount  of  experience  in  designing  and   building  hybrid,  mobile-­‐optimized  apps  with  HTML,  CSS  and  JS.     Using  IonicFramework,  for  example,  to  build  your  app  once,  and   run  it  across  all  your  devices.      As  a  design  centric  web  developer,  I   can  also  add  value  in  kick  starting  the  design  process,  using  

applications  like  Sketch  and  Pixate  to  prototype  application  flows   and  interactions.    I’m  able  to  work  in  just  about  every  phase  of  the   web  and  app  development  process,  or  act  as  a  one-­‐man  shop  for   companies  with  limited  resources.    

Please  do  not  contact  me  if  you  are  a  recruiter  for  a  staffing  agency   or  professional  services  firm.      At  this  time,  I  am  only  interested  in   working  directly  with  clients  or  employers.
