Design & Development
| My experience in web development is quite extensive, reaching back to the early days of Mosaic, when I created a web site for my college newspaper comic strip, "Ka-Blouie!". As web technologies progressed, I acquired skills in CGI script programming and eventually co-founded a web design company, Yeti Arts. Then came XML and content management systems, such as Zope. In the two years immmediately preceding my term in the Information School MLIS program, I worked for the University of Washington Program for Educational Transformation Through Technology (PETTT) as a web site manager, web applications developer, and educational technology researcher. When I began my graduate studies at the iSchool, I continued to refine my skills in IT design and development, adding competencies such as user-centered design, knowledge management, and object-oriented programming. I found new ways to incorporate skills learned in classes into my projects and allowed the theory learned in my studies to inform practice. Below, I explore and reflect on my most significant experiences in which I participated in the design and development of projects and products involving information technology.
