YES now a days, I'm available for a freelance project! If you need anyone with my skill set please do not hesitate to contact me! :) I offer competitive rate. About Melissahie.com This website was first developed around the end of March 2008. I was thinking to develop a web resume so that i can just give the URL to recruiters and they can view my resume without using any Microsoft word or Pdf software. So i developed an online resume of mine and simply uploaded it without putting much thought. Later on i re-coded this as a complete website with an improved version to match the current web standard on Devember 2009. My Web Skills are * Proficiency in (x)HTML and CSS. Able to code without the help of a WYSIWYG editor. * Very sound working knowledge of PHP and MySQL. * Proficiency in Macromedia Dreamweaver. Extensive knowledge of WordPress, Joomla, Magento, Smarty, MVC Framework(Code-Igniter). * Fluency in English and Hindi. Who is Vaseem? Born in Kota, I have been an extremist since childhood. I have had my own ways of standing out of the crowd(Some of my frends suggest me in this). Before I started with my own blog (http://www.Vaseemansari.blogspot.com), I had created about 50 websites from very simple html based websites to fully functional shopping carts. I am a complete family man, and love to spend good time with my family and friends. I love long drives and vacations with my frends Umesh, Pallav, Akanksha, Varun, Mona. When not working, I’m most likely to be seen listening to music and kidding with my sister Dolly. I am a foodie, a hard-core non-vegetarian. One thing I hate the most is spending time on anything that’s not productive. I believe that we learn something new every day. To list a few technical skills i have: * Web Designing (HTML, XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, mootools, .Net, ASP, PHP, MySql, MSSQL 2000/2005) * Software (Adobe CS3 Photoshop, Dreamweaver etc.) * Hardware Technologies and Troubleshooting * Operating System Win 9x, XP, 2000, NT, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista * Microsoft Word, Excel, Visio * Application Development – PHP-MySql and Open Sources From Hobby to Profession Back in 2001 I tried my hands on web-development technologies and created websites for my friends and family. Didn’t know enough about the potential of this creativity so I diverted myself into BPO industry for 6 years and worked with Convergys and Dell. I was well recognized for my work and out of the box ideas. But what brought me out in the lime light was again my creative potential of web-development and programming. Since that was limited to the organization I worked for, it was not enough to fulfill my appetite for my passion. In September, 2007 I finally purchased my own domain mohitaneja.com to share best practices and knowledge which I launched on 1st Jan, 2008. I got a lot of appreciation for Mohit’s Blog design and quite a number of web-development projects. I could only do freelancing after my office hours so I ended up working for 16 to 18 hours daily. My personal life was lost somewhere between my passion and full-time job, so after doing complete analysis I decided to live my passion forever. So I waited no more and filled up my exit from Dell as Senior Operations Analyst in November, 2008. It gives me immense pleasure in saying that I am moving one step forward to live my passion every year, after launching Mohit’s Blog on 1st Jan, 2008 my next project CSSJockey is launched on 1st Jan, 2009. Already excited to know what’s on the cards for years to come. My Apparatus I have been asked this a lot of times so just to put this to rest: * I use Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator to design nice web layouts from scratch. * I hand code all applications with Aptana Studio which is no doubt a cool software for xHTML, CSS, PHP and Rails Development. * I have all major web-browsers (e.g. IE6, IE7, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Flock, Chrome) installed for cross browser testing. * I prefer WordPress as CMS for creating cool websites, like this one. * Also I love Open Source Software and currently trying my hands on Cake PHP and Ruby on Rails for Application Development. What I Can Do For You I work with a number of technologies and skills that are relevant to web application design and development. My proficiencies are (but not limited to): * Custom & Unique Website Development * Custom & Unique WordPress Themes * Design and Usability Consultancy * Web Application Development * xHTML / Cascading Style Sheets * jQuery and AJAX Integration * PHP, MySQL, ASP.net MSSQL Can you think of anything else I can do for you?
