DoubleStack Developer/Designer© |
|
To my knowledge, I coined the term "DoubleStack Developer" in March of 2019. The term "FullStack" had come into common use but there was no description for someone who had achieved proficiency in both stacks (developer & designer).
The common criticism of the "full stack" label is that someone cannot be highly skilled in multiple technical and/or artistic areas. I answer those concerns with my body of work. I have many long term clients who I have developed and designed significant business critical systems for.
I bring the unique mixture of a broad range of technical and design skills coupled with decades of real business experience to advise and guide my clients in the best possible solution for them.
My path to this level of expertise started in the 1980's with pre-computer era graphic design, then computer graphics for the print industry. That progressed to website design which evolved into programming (and a Microsoft Certified Expert) that gave functionality to the websites I designed.
My development/application platform is IIS/SQL/ASP.NET/VB and CSS/HTML/Javascript. I have advanced proficiency in each of those skills. For visual design, I'm an Adobe Certified Expert with decades of design experience in all the common graphic design software.
My work and experience over 25+ years of design and development are the proof of a "doublestack" qualification.
I have single-handedly developed buisiness-critical online applications (from start to finish) that have surpassed a million lines of code, hundreds of concurrent users, hundreds of forms/page/queries, view/functions and tens of thousands of forms accessed daily.
I have many long term clients and examples to back up my "doublestack" qualifications. I'll be happy to show you some of them on request. |
