Mike Spencer

Web Designer & Developer / résumé

Hi there! I currently hold the position of Senior Web Developer at Algonquin Studios in Buffalo, New York. My goal is to design and develope elegant, standards-compliant web sites that are effective, easy to use, and achieve the objectives of my clients.

For me, being a web developer means more than simply building web sites. As my career has progressed, I have taken on additional responsibilities in managing web projects and have become a crtical resource in the areas of usability and accessibility. I have also gained valuable insight in search engine optimization, web strategy, and web traffic analysis.

Lately, I've been spending much of my time designing and implementing a new user interface for our flagship content management solution, QuantumCMS. I've also designed and developed several web sites that you can check out below.

Photo of meWhen I'm not working, you'll typically find me watching hockey, reading, playing Ultimate, listening to the Beatles, or enjoying a good cheeseburger.

Geek cred: I'm a big fan of science fiction and fantasy. Some of my all-time favorites include Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Dresden Files, and LOST.

Sabres diehard: I'm also a huge Buffalo Sabres fan and my brother and I bring our unique insights to the web community through a weekly fan podcast called SabreCast.
