Back Alley Web Development
Back Alley Web Development is owned & operated by me, Elise C. Alley. I am a passionate, driven web developer. I have an excellent work ethic and excel in customer satisfaction. While at Francis Tuttle Technology Center, I lead a team of adults to create a website highlighting the city of Chicago. We went on to win competitions on both the state and national level. I work well with others and on my own. I am capable of both setting and meeting deadlines. I adapt well to new situations and know I would be a fit for any company I was to work for.
My skills include:
- HTML4 & 5
- CSS2 & 3
- SQL
- RDBMS
- Project Management
- Photoshop CS5
On a more personal note:
Before starting at Francis Tuttle, I earned a Bachelor's in Liberal Arts with focuses in English & History. No one pays people to sit around & read books. So I started looking for a career that would allow me to do something I love. After much research, I decided the web field was where I belonged. I enjoyed design, but I loved coding.
Little bit more:
- I am a "Military Brat."
- I am a "Third Culture Kid."
- I am an avid reader of everything from the classics to modern fiction. My favorite authors include Jane Austen, Bryce Courtenay and James Patterson.
- I am an amateur photographer.
- I frequently volunteer at a local gallery.
