Resume
Mark Thomas Sheraton
Web Developer
I’ve been a front-end web developer building large and small websites for over a decade.
Designer
I’m also a web and graphic designer proficient in Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign.
Remote Worker
I value working remotely and know that being a good team member means being a great communicator.
Strengths
More than writing code for computers to understand—I consider clear communication with the people around me a valuable asset and one of my greatest strengths. From explaining complex web concepts to designers, to providing rationale behind design decisions to developers, I find that I speak both languages pretty fluently. Building on the web is a vast and complicated job, but I enjoy learning the different aspects of it.
