Andy Chase - Hire: Programming, Design, & More

Over the last 6 years I have done a little bit of everything; plain HTML and web graphic design, Macromedia Flash design, CGI scripting with PERL, print layout, and of course PHP programming.

My work since late 2000 has been more technical than design-oriented, but it wasn't always that way; I actually got started doing professional web design while working at a special effects shop, and from 1997 through early 2000 much of my work had more to do with web graphic design than it did backend programming. The Web Graphic Design section represents a sampling of my work from 1997-present. My "URL List", once a formidable section of my resume, is woefully short due to the disappearance of former employers and the simple passage of time; the web is always changing, and my older contributions to it have not been exempt from alteration by my successors at web sites like ennisbrownhouse.org and Edmunds.com.

I have also been fortunate enough to do some technical writing. The best way to experience my writing is naturally to read it, but the Technical Writing section of this portfolio will give you an overview of what I've written, and point you in the right direction should you decide to read any of it.

As this document expands, screenshots will be included of some of my ongoing software projects. I am unfortunately unable to include details about much of my professional programming for the last two years because I have been working on a hospital intranet with confidential information.

Rather than organize my portfolio as a purely cosmetic print publication using a suite like Adobe Pagemaker, I decided to use DocBook XML instead. In this way I hope to represent both my creative and technical aptitudes. From a more practical standpoint, using DocBook allows me to easily distribute this document in practically any format I want.
