Hello! My name is Mike Devine, and I’m a technical and creative professional from the Philadelphia area with 13 years of experience in information technology.
Update (January 2010):
My assignment at GlaxoSmithKline will come to an end shortly. As a result:
1. I am actively pursuing a new full-time position, preferably one that involves managing Web front-end, user interface, or usability projects. Please review my résumé and LinkedIn profile to learn more about my qualifications.
2. My availability to start new freelance projects will be very limited until further notice. Thanks very much for your understanding.
Full-Time Career
I’m employed as a Technical Lead at GlaxoSmithKline PLC in King of Prussia, Pa., where I’ve worked in various positions of increasing responsibility since 2003. My current role involves managing multiple Web-based projects for our internal R&D clients.
Prior to my tenure at GSK, I worked as a Web developer at a pair of interactive agencies, Medical Broadcasting Company and Refinery, Inc., where I built public Web sites and intranets for leading healthcare companies. Before that, I developed data warehousing applications and online reporting systems at The Vanguard Group, Inc., and General Electric Company.
Freelance Web Design
Outside of my full-time job, I also design custom Web sites on a freelance basis. I apply a practical, common-sense method of building sites that are both visually appealing and easy to use. I encourage you to review my approach to Web design and my portfolio to learn more.
Thanks very much for visiting!
