HTML/CSS
I've had extensive experience with HTML/CSS in a variety of industries. These range from e-learning, finance, healthcare, marketing, and entertainment.
My experience also includes cross-browser compatability, search engine optimization, content management systems, ad serving, and quality assurance.
There is a finesse to mark-up languages and stylesheets that I find very appealing. I don't rely on WYSIWYG editors or lazy browser hacks for my HTML/CSS projects.
Samples of my HTML/CSS work:

My programming background consists primarily of e-learning and new media projects, with a secondary focus on game development. I've built many templates and tools for CD-ROM and online-based courseware, and gotten down and dirty with a variety of learning management systems.
Programming languages include ActionScript, PHP, ASP, and Lingo.
Clients have included Microsoft, Deloitte & Touche, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and Canada Life.

There was a time when being a "multimedia developer" meant being a Jack of all trades, with programming and graphics often being handled by the same person. Roles have become more specialised since then — but it never hurts to have a designer lurking within.
