About Me

Hello, my name is Jan Oliver Waldeck and I’m a Digital Art Director.

Since 2002 I have been working as a web developer/online manager and am passionate about it. I used to live in São Paulo, Brazil – and now just moved to the US, living for a couple of months in Florida and then moving to Durham, North Carolina, where my wife got her MBA studies. Currently we live nearby Philadelphia, in a city called Conshohocken.

In Brazil I worked for a large asset management company as online/web manager for almost 5 years, but since April of 2008 I have been working as a freelancer, doing client work as well as getting some of my personal projects off the ground.

For years I have been discovering and researching new open source CMS technologies, designing interactive websites and campaigns for well known clients. I have also been working a lot with SEO and WEB 2.0 collaborative tendencies. I also have been reviewing some great Phosothop tutorials and always taking interesting online lessons at Lynda.

Currently, I’m seeking a position as interactive designer/art director around the Philadephia Area. Through my extensive knowledge about the web and interest in the field, I am a well informed and up-to-date professional, looking forward to working in a collaborative and creative environment.

  • What I know: Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, CSS, xHTML, UI, Project Management, Google Analytics, Google Adsense
  • What I use: jQuery, Javascript, Joomla, WordPress, CMS Made Simple, PHP (wamp, open source CMS’s, scripts) and always standards compliant code

My personal web-projects

  • Portal do Amor: I helped my wife in building this website, which is a relationship consultant services. In almost two years, this website has about 7.000 visits/day due to constant SEO efforts.

  • Webnoivos: when we got married, in Jun/07, we built a website and people loved it. Therefore I thought it would be a good idea in building an automated wedding website service. It is live since Apr/2008 and is moving along.

  • The10Most: this project was born because I always looked for quality information for designers and developers in just one place. The10Most is a list of the best stuff around to help your productivity, help you finding the best software for your projects or the best site to get your stock photography?
