Tom Sullivan
E-commerce developer and strategist
My name is Tom and I've been developing websites since 1998. I have seen the bubble and I have seen 2.0. Yet, after a decade of professional involvement, I still enjoy making cool shit on the web. In addition to web development, I also have four years of experience in retail supervision and visual merchandising.
My technical specialties include: HTML, CSS 2/3, JSP, Javascript (jQuery, Dojo), PHP, Google Analytics, Information Architecture (developing wireframes, designing use cases, orchestrating user flows), ATG Commerce Platform (2007.1 & 9.x), ATG Merchandising (2007.1 & 9.x), ATG Recommendations, Magento e-commerce (1.2+), business applications of social media (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn)
I am very interested in analyzing ways in which retailers can use emerging technology in order to create lasting relationships with consumers. I have seen the development and maturity of social media first hand. I get it and I understand it because I live it.
These days I find myself combining my love of web development with the nuances of the retail industry by working with several top name retailers on their e-commerce storefronts, on the ATG commerce platform, in a front-end development and strategy role. I was part of the team that developed the Tommy Hilfiger for iPhone application which was a bronze finalist for Best Mobile Application in the 2010 NRF/Shop.org RACIE Awards [warning: Flash content].

In my personal time, I Tweet (a lot), Tweet about retail & e-commerce, blog about the retail industry and e-commerce, explore e-commerce UI elements, and take photos.
