Jr. Developer Intern at Ridge-Spur Media
At Ridge-Spur Media I learned how to troubleshoot and solve all kinds of problems. Customization of websites required me to learn how to learn. I taught myself plenty of CSS tricks from online resources and whenever something seemed too hard, my boss would give me a hint so that I could learn it on my own rather than him just giving me the answer. I also learned some aspects of project manager from my project manager such as project scope and top-down time estimations.
Ridge-Spur Media is a local media start-up founded by Temple’s MIS alumni Josh Meth and his business partner Tyler Caton in September of 2015. At Ridge-Spur Media, we build websites for clients in all kinds of industries. We also provide search engine optimization and other media services. Unlike other media companies, we also provide photography, aerial videography/photography, video production, etc.
In my role as Jr. Developer, I would mainly assist in managing content of clients’ websites, customizing the look/layout, and quality assurance. I used WordPress for content management and HTML/CSS primarily for customization. I also assisted with quality assurance and occasionally I would even do sales prospecting. Most of my time was dedicated to the customization of websites.
