Matt VegasAbout Matt

I've been designing and developing web sites for over 10 years. I started in 1998, working on front-end graphic design. I then progressed to middle-tier development and eventually to back-end development and database programming. I'm a a very versatile developer with a broad range of skills and understanding of each phase of web design.

Over the years I have worked on a number of consulting projects for a variety of small to medium-sized businesses. I've also worked on some long-term multi-million dollar projects.

Today I am currently employed as a Senior Web Developer at Atkins Nutritionals. I recently joined Atkins after leaving CollegeInvest, a Division of the Colorado Department of Higher Education. I was the CollegeInvest Webmaster for about three years where I developed a custom content management system and also developed and managed some complex and high-stake internet applications that service the state.

I program primarily in C#, ASP.NET, HTML, JavaScript, SQL, XML, and Web services. My areas of technical expertise are in Web architecture and site security. I have also received recognitions and awards for my leadership skills, and for my communication and effective presentation skills.

I've worked on projects for clients like Microsoft, Adobe, Mitsubishi, Verizon, Remax, Jefferson County Schools, GAIAM, and The State of Colorado, to name a few.

For samples of my work, please take a look at my portfolio.
