Christopher Kennedy-Nunez

3 month contract position working with BSD NYC and the City of New York to rebuild AccessNYC, an online tool that allows users to find assistance in the city food, money, housing, work and other benefits/programs. I handled the WordPress templating alongside Jon Jandoc, using Timber to build Twig templates. I also integrated the City's GatherContent system to allow them to sync content from one central repository of data and distribute it across their website or future apps/systems they may integrate.

I designed and developed websites using the ExpressionEngine and Craft content management systems. I also provided information architecture and user experience research and solutions.

I maintained GayTravel.com's membership and content-driven website of over 10,000 users. I provided support and troubleshooting for the entire site to the team as well as their customers and advertisers. I rebuilt their website from scratch with a cleaner design and implemented a responsive layout across the site to meet the needs of their growing number of mobile users.

I designed and developed ExpressionEngine sites, assisted clients with developmental consulting, and provided them with knowledge of what methods and approaches for each project would be most effective, in terms of time as well as cost. I frequently was called upon to help discuss solutions to pain points in a site’s design through KISSmetrics and Google Analytics. Here, I was the client’s “answer-man.”

I planned, designed and developed client sites from start to finish. I frequently was responsible for suggesting new technologies and incorporating client advertising campaigns or promotions throughout their online presence. I frequently was a liaison on best practices in social media to our clients in a time when the concept was still relatively new. I also brought ExpressionEngine into the company’s toolkit, enabling PWL Studio to begin accessing larger client prospects.

I managed customer workflows, processed design orders, maintained in-store displays, and manually updated products on the company site.

I was the point of contact between the production company’s art and marketing departments. I built each individual property’s site, online ads, updated contests, and maintained a custom CMS for the company-wide site and various properties.

My first web-related job, I was in charge of developing interactive websites for various clients. I designed and created custom interfaces for promotional CDs, designed mail outs for client business, in both print and electronic format. I handled client conferences regarding conceptualization of said designs and mail outs. I was also responsible for designing convention posters and packaging for clients as needed as well.
