I stood at the entrance to my first class at Fanshawe College in September 2006 with one goal in mind: “I want to work in the web industry.”
The web was a different place back then. Internet Explorer 6 had 55% of the browser market (it’s now at 15%), surfing the web on your phone was nearly impossible, and nobody had ever heard of Twitter.
Fast forward to February 2009, and my first time in the ResIM offices. The web had grown in leaps and bounds, the industry was more exciting than ever before, and my first task at Resolution was migrating content for a client of theirs. Since then I’ve been given the opportunity to take on more and more responsibilities, showing off my creative eye and technical wizardry wherever possible.
I guess I impressed someone, because as of today I’ve put pen to paper, and become the newest official member of the ResIM team. What do I do here? I design top notch interfaces, code web apps and flash pieces, and generally flex my geek muscle. I’ll also be taking the reigns of the official Resolution Twitter account, so get following people, because there’s some interesting stuff coming down the pipe.
I’m excited to be here, grateful for Jonathan and Brendan’s faith in my abilities, and elated to be in such a great work environment. You’ll be seeing much more of me in the next few months.
