Teaching [curriculum vitae / resume]
Lindsay has taught in digital interactive arts and writing at the Illinois Institute of Art in Chicago, Illinois for more than 5 years. He also taught at ITT Technical schools and completed course writing for American Intercontinental University online.
Programming
Lindsay has completed several projects as an independent contractor for small to mid-sized businesses. He consults on aspects of business system design and usability design. His areas of expertise are computer graphics, interface development, web design, and middle-tier programming.
Art
Lindsay has recently returned to developing computer games and interactive art. The first game he programmed and designed was an Apple II title called Space in 1989. The title was limited to distribution at the local computer store, but he has since matured into broader distribution. Lindsay’s games primarily pursue educational experiences. Lindsay’s interactive art pursues similar educational goals, but augments them with editorial critique of the social relationship between computers and humans.
About Me
I most enjoy working on new challenges. I’m very comfortable balancing multiple projects and seek the challenge of developing new solutions. I focus my efforts on an intelligence and elegance .
I have been programming computers for more than 10 years (off and on). Consequently, I have a wealth of personal expertise in software development.
I first started developing websites in 1996. Before that, I had been programming in Basic and using fledgling business applications like Lotus 1,2,3. The first computer on which I programmed was called a Laser 128. It was an Apple II clone. My first experiences with the Internet were through telnet on a 2400-baud modem.
Work History
Between 1999 and 2003 I worked for a highly lauded website, McMaster.com. There I had been responsible for leading technical design, requirements gathering, documentation, and aspects of software architecture, design and implementation for specific web projects. The company has always maintained a strong focus on usability, and my web skills have maintained the same focus.
When I started at McMaster, I managed inventories and piloted special projects as a buyer.
In my first year with McMaster, I created Mindtoggle.com. Mindtoggle reviewed the Chicago area nightclubs, offered VIP guest listing services, sold local DJ music, and provided general bar and club merchandise. The site had more than 300 registered users who averaged a total 400 sessions and over 9000 page hits per week.
Between 1998 and 1999, I worked for Invesco Mutual Funds in Boston. I was the sole person responsible for the data integrity of the office’s Online Analytic Processing (OLAP) database. I most enjoyed writing small applications to automate the data integrity process.
Before 1998, I worked in technical support for Northwestern University. I also accrued some experience in human resources and financial analysis at FleetBoston (now Bank of America)
"Art History"
I have been taking photographs, writing plays and scripts, and experimenting with computer graphics for more than 10 years. In 2007 I decided to move these activities back into the public space after focusing the bulk of my creative energy into teaching and software development. I am currently exhibiting my work, publishing my writing and working locally on small curatorial projects.
