A little about me:

My name is Marion Owen and I’m a web developer that helps take an ordinary solutions and transforms it into a powerful user friendly online solution. I help business take away the uneasy feeling of using a powerful tool such as SharePoint or WordPress by delivering automated business driven solutions and results. I’ve has been doing web development for over 10 years and focuses on SharePoint, WordPress, and almost anything you can code with.

 

 

 

 

I graduated from Southern Polytechnic State University in Marietta, Ga with a Bachelors in Computer Engineering in 2010. I took a liking to technical design and programing. My course and project work included C#, VHDL,  assembly, and bit level coding along with circuit design. I’ve been doing web development for the past 10 years and have been increasing my scope of knowledge for web design and development at work as well as with my clients.

I previously worked for an organization in Atlanta, Ga called The Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO). The explanation of what we do is too long-winded for me to write here, so check out their “About us” page. At INPO, we use SharePoint for our intranet as well as our external site.

I currently work as a consultant and contract for an Atlanta based firm. Our firm almost exclusively deals with federal contracts. I am one of the senior SharePoint developer on my team.

I started a web design/development firm in 2010 as a side project. I offer web design and development for small and medium-sized businesses as well as individuals. My company is based out of Atlanta, Georgia but I have a few clients from out of state. I have been steadily growing over the years with my consistent ability to help business grow their web presence.

What this blog is about:

I started to write down tips and tricks for web development in a little notebook and I noticed that it was getting full pretty quickly. I would find myself in a situation where a solution was not clearly documented or recorded, so researching an option from multiple sources was my only other option. The frustration of keeping track of what I found where and not getting clear “this is how you fix it” answers really frustrated me. It seemed as though the answer was out there, but no one wanted to share it or explain it in a sense for a beginner to understand.

So I decided to start this blog as a place to document how I fixed certain issues I ran into, how we came up with solutions that implemented SharePoint or other web tools, and a place to catalog my ideas and findings. I wanted to help other SharePointers or web developers who come behind me to produce some amazing sites or solutions for their needs.

Let the blogging begin.
