Web Developer
I am a web developer with 5+ years’ experience in building and maintaining enterprise-level websites. This includes taking design proofs and developing them into fully fleshed out experiences. During this time, I took part in building websites, widgets, CMS components, landing pages, and promotional banners. In addition, the sites I helped build were translated into multiple languages by an in-house CMS platform. By taking part in team-driven efforts, I modernized outdated websites by making them scalable and responsive. Working with a team of fellow developers, I completed assignments during long and short-delivery intervals to help drive new business.

Gus Ford
Former Vice President of Web Marketing FXCM 2012-2017
I’ve had the privilege of working with Tal Hollingsworth while leading the web marketing team at FXCM. Tal was amazing to work with due to his strong work ethic, and willingness to share his skill set and processes with his entire team. I know I learned so much about JavaScript and efficient work flow best practices from working closely with Tal. He is a dedicated teammate and natural leader, that is sure to be an asset to any firm. He has strong skills using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for all project types and sizes with high levels of complexity and managing tight and competing deadlines. While working together, we used collaboration tools such as Smart Sheets and Jira, as well as a custom tool that Tal built for the entire web marketing department to save time and reduce emails.
