Sheena Archambault, Web Developer and Programmer - Resume
I am a hard-working, quality-minded developer who constructs insightful solutions for everyday problems. I pay strict attention to detail. Like most programmers, my mental stimulation is driven by logical challenges. But unlike most, I possess unusually perceptive communication skills. I'm very good at extracting from end- users what they specifically want and need, even when they only have a general idea. And more importantly, I truly care about meeting needs and exceeding expectations.

Experience
Freelance Web Programmer
Since 2006 I’ve been working independently on a contract basis, doing general web design, ecommerce development, and maintaining content management systems. I’ve worked extensively with HTML, Javascript, PHP, MySQL and CSS. Here are a few links to some of the sites I have worked on. Some are completed, and some are still in progress. Also, where noted, the work was contracted to me through another company.
www.sportsplace127.com
I started with an OSCommerce template and customized this site to the client's specifications, adding bulk discount purchasing, a referral system and several other custom options. I also expanded the standard OSCommerce shipping scheme, populated the products list and configured the payment gateway. I began work on this project through a company called Ciphertek, and continue to maintain and upgrade the site.
CircleBackMusic.com
While the site was not originally designed by us, a lot of the graphical content was. We designed a membership module for Zen Cart, and coded this into the existing framework to allow for members-only music downloads. I also added a 'Press Members Only' area.
Marriages.net
This site was redesigned with a Joomla back end. The clients wanted more control over their own site, so we set them up with Joomla and trained them on how to administer the site. The Zen Cart store is contained in a wrapper within Joomla. We also helped the clients transfer their active site to the new design. This was a time sensitive project, that went off without a hitch!
IDCSERVCO.com
Original New Site Development using Joomla Content Management. The client picked out a Rockettheme template and I customized it to their specifications.
Powerof7Diet.com
This dieting website features communication capabilities such as chat, private messaging, user profiles and an awards system for weight loss progress. Built using a Joomla content management system. Also designed a custom add-on Diet Center with food database, that allows for members to journal food intake and weight loss and share experiences with others.
DieselDogg.com
We built this site from the ground up, incorporating a Miva Cart shopping system within the informational site framework. Job done for BGDesign.
www.designsbyjoy.biz
This was a more simple OSCommerce project because the client did not need as much special customization. I configured the standard options and customized the template layout.
www.atvgalaxy.com/shopgalaxy
This project is currently awaiting client specifications. It is a Zen Cart online store. Work done for Rocketpig Studios.
I have been working with BGDesign for over a year. Here are some of the websites I've designed or worked on. Some were new sites primarily developed by me, but most were modification and customization projects for existing sites.
