Welcome to DevTactics. My name is Dan Montgomery and I'm a web developer with more than a decade of experience in bridging the gap between creative and technical teams. This simple portfolio is intended to supplement my CV. I am currently working in Canberra and can be reached at devtactics@gmail.com or 0435 500 988.

HTML/CSS

I've had extensive experience with front-end web development using HTML/CSS in a variety of industries, including e-learning, finance, health care, marketing, and entertainment.

My experience includes search engine optimisation, content management systems, ad serving, and web traffic analytics.

In addition to the work shown below, I served as the Team Lead of Web Development for the Kaboose network of websites — with more than 8 million unique visitors a month. The company was recently acquired by Disney and the sites have since been re-designed, precluding them from this portfolio.

Samples of my HTML/CSS work:

Programming

My programming background consists primarily of e-learning and web applications, with a secondary focus on game development.

Most of my projects have been programmed in ActionScript 3, PHP, and Lingo. However, I'm always upgrading my skills and have recently completed training on C# and .NET.

I've worked with large teams of developers and am well versed in the use (and importance!) of version control, staging environments, and bug tracking tools.
