HIRE ME, AGITAL!




YOURS TRULY, DANIEL COWAN


RELENTLESS WEB INNOVATOR


I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT FINDING SOLUTIONS TO INTERESTING PROBLEMS, ALL FOCUSED ON
MEETING THE REAL OBJECTIVES OF THE COMPANY OR ORGANIZATION.


OBSESSIVE ABOUT THE DETAILS


I'M WIRED TO ASK QUESTIONS, GET CLARITY, AND GET CONFIRMATION ABOUT WHAT IS
REQUIRED FOR A TASK OR PROJECT. I KIND OF CAN'T HELP IT.


FRIEND OF AGITAL


I'VE SEEN WHAT AGITAL IS DOING AND WHAT YOU'RE ALL ABOUT. I LOVE IT, AND I HOPE
I GET TO BE A PART OF IT.

SOME WORDS FROM ME


I BUILT MY FIRST WEBSITE IN 2003, FOR MY HIGH SCHOOL GARAGE BAND, USING
MICROSOFT FRONTPAGE. WE ADMITTED TO ANYONE WHO SAW US IN CONCERTS OR FESTIVALS
THAT WE KNEW THEY WEREN'T THERE TO SEE US — THE TAGLINE ON OUR SHIRTS WAS,
"WE'RE THE OTHER BAND." (I JUST CHECKED THE WAYBACK MACHINE. THERE ARE SOME
SNAPSHOTS OF IT STILL OUT THERE. YEAH…THE SITE WAS AS BAD AS THE BAND WAS. BUT
IT DID HAVE A LINK TO A CUSTOM BRANDED EZBOARD FORUM AND A GROUP CHAT FEATURE.)

HOWEVER, IT WOULDN'T BE UNTIL 15 YEARS AND A WHOLE OTHER CAREER LATER THAT I
WOULD START DOING WEBSITES PROFESSIONALLY. IN 2018, I LEFT MY OLD CAREER BEHIND
AND WENT FREELANCE AS A WEB PROJECT MANAGER AND DEVELOPER. I'M NOW IN MY SECOND
FULL-TIME POSITION IN WEB, AND I JUST LOVE IT. SINCE THE BEGINNING, I HAVE
MANAGED OR DEVELOPED FOR NEARLY A HUNDRED WEBSITE BUILD OR MAINTENANCE PROJECTS.

I REALLY LOVE THE START TO FINISH OF A WEBSITE PROJECT, ESPECIALLY AS A
DEVELOPER. IT'S VERY GRATIFYING TO GET TO FOCUS ON A PROJECT AND STICK WITH IT
UNTIL IT'S DONE. I'M TOTALLY FINE WITH JUGGLING, BUT MY FAVORITE THING IS
GETTING STUCK IN WITH ONE THING FOR A FEW WEEKS AND THEN DELIVERING AND MOVING
TO THE NEXT.

WHEN IT COMES TO MANAGING PROJECTS, WHAT I LOVE MOST IS THE WORKING ON THE
STRATEGY AND ARCHITECTURE OF THE SITE. MOST OF MY PROJECT MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE
ALSO INCLUDED ME DOING UX DESIGN (SITEMAPS AND WIREFRAMES). I LOVE WHEN THE
CLIENT STARTS TO GET A PICTURE OF HOW THE SITE IS ALL GOING TO WORK TOGETHER.
THEY START TO SEE SUCCESS THROUGH THE GLIMMER OF LIGHT COMING DOWN THE LONG
PROJECT TUNNEL.

WHETHER I'M DEVELOPING OR MANAGING, I GET A BIT OBSESSIVE ABOUT GETTING CLARITY
AND HAVING THINGS CLEARLY COMMUNICATED AND DOCUMENTED. IN MY CURRENT ROLE, WE
USE ASANA FOR BASICALLY EVERYTHING. I BELIEVE THAT KEEPING ASANA FULLY FILLED
OUT AND UP TO DATE IS SO IMPORTANT FOR TRANSPARENCY WITH THE CLIENT,
ACCOUNTABILITY WITH TEAM MEMBERS, AND JUST MAKING SURE THE PROJECT IS ACTUALLY
GONNA GET DONE WITH EVERYTHING DONE RIGHT AND ON TIME. I'M THE ONE THAT MIGHT BE
ASKING SO MANY CLARIFYING QUESTIONS AS TO GET ON SOME PEOPLE'S NERVES SOMETIMES.

EARLY ON, ALMOST ALL THE SITES I WORKED ON WERE MADE WITH PRE-BUILT TEMPLATES
(THINK THEMEFOREST, ETC.). THAT WAS JUST THE DEFAULT FOR THE AGENCIES I WAS
WORKING WITH AT THE TIME. WE ONLY DID CUSTOM THEMES FOR THE "BIG" PROJECTS. AS I
GREW IN MY SKILLS AS A DEVELOPER, I BEGAN TO BUILD WITH CUSTOM THEMES ALMOST
EXCLUSIVELY. MY WORK WITH MY CURRENT COMPANY IS EXCLUSIVELY ON WORDPRESS, AND I
HAVE A STARTER THEME AND PLUGIN SET THAT I USE WHENEVER I'M BUILDING FROM
SCRATCH.

I LIKE TO SAY THAT ANYTHING CAN BE DONE ON WORDPRESS. AND THE PROJECTS THAT I'VE
WORKED ON DEMONSTRATE THAT. VELOCITEACH AND TRANSAMERICAN AUTO PARTS ARE TWO OF
THE MORE COMPLEX PROJECTS PROJECTS I'VE WORKED ON. IN ADDITION TO THOSE AND THE
OTHER PROJECTS IN THE PROJECT DISPLAY RACK ABOVE, ANOTHER COMPLEX PROJECT I'VE
WORKED ON WAS FOR A CLIENT NAMED GEM FELLOWSHIP. GEM FELLOWSHIP WANTED TO
IMPLEMENT A CONFERENCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ON THEIR WORDPRESS SITE, SO WE STARTED
BY USING THE EVENTS CALENDAR AND EVENT TICKETS PLUS (BOTH ARE WORDPRESS PLUGINS
CREATED BY THE SAME AUTHOR), AND EXTENDED THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THOSE PLUGINS TO
BE ABLE TO: 1) HAVE NESTED PARENT/CHILD RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN EVENTS; 2) CREATE
A CUSTOM MULTI-STEP REGISTRATION PROCESS THAT ALLOWS A USER TO BUILD THEIR
CONFERENCE ITINERARY, REGISTERING FOR MULTIPLE EVENTS FROM ONE SCREEN; 3)
CUSTOMIZE THE EVENT REGISTRATION FORM PAGE TO GROUP SEPARATE REGISTRATIONS
TOGETHER IN ONE CHECKOUT PROCESS; AND 4) CUSTOMIZE THE FINAL CHECKOUT SCREEN TO
SHOW THE REGISTRATION FORM QUESTIONS AND MAKE THEM EDITABLE AFTER CHECKOUT.

FOR GEM FELLOWSHIP, AND FOR MOST OF THE PROJECTS I'VE WORKED ON, THERE CAN BE
HUNDREDS OF TASKS AND SUBTASKS, ESPECIALLY AS A COMPLEX PROJECT GETS INTO QA AND
TESTING. I LOVE PROJECT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS LIKE ASANA AND JIRA. I HAVE THE MOST
EXPERIENCE WITH ASANA. I KEEP IT OPEN IN MY BROWSER AT ALL TIMES. IT IS HOW I
STAY ORGANIZED, WHETHER I'M MANAGING OR DEVELOPING. AS I MENTIONED ABOVE, I
BELIEVE IT'S CRUCIAL FOR THE HEALTH OF A PROJECT THAT THE ENTIRE SCOPE OF THE
PROJECT IS FAITHFULLY TRACKED AND MANAGED SOMEWHERE. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE
ASANA; IT JUST HAS TO BE SOMEWHERE. SOMEWHERE THAT CAN BE THE SOURCE OF TRUTH
FOR EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO GET DONE, ESPECIALLY WHEN HANDLING MULTIPLE
PROJECTS AND TIMELINES.

I'M VERY HAPPY IN MY CURRENT ROLE AT CLASSIC CITY CONSULTING, BUT I AM ALWAYS
LOOKING FOR THE NEXT OPPORTUNITY TO GROW IN MY CAREER, TO WORK WITH COOL PEOPLE,
AND TO DO GOOD IN THE WORLD. I LOVE WHAT I HAVE SEEN ABOUT AGITAL, AND THE
PROSPECT OF WORKING WITH YOU ALL IS VERY EXCITING. I'M LOOKING FOR COMPENSATION
SOMEWHERE AROUND $125-150K, FOR A ROLE SUCH AS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

ALTHOUGH IT'S A BIT OF A CHALLENGE TO TALK ABOUT MYSELF SO MUCH, I WANT TO GIVE
YOU A PICTURE OF WHO I AM AND WHERE I'M COMING FROM, AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU
READING ALL OF THIS. IT WAS A LABOR OF LOVE. I'D REALLY LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU
NEXT!
