I have also built several custom eCommerce and CMS platforms from the first line of code. My project management background includes experience with traditional and agile methodologies within small and large multicultural project teams. Listening to clients about their projects vision, goals and expectations. I create detailed proposals and service agreements as well as fictional and design specification. I also have real user and business understating of the complete website development cycle and process.
