Welcome to Michael Cusden’s online portfolio. This site is a constant work in progress and is not really meant to bring in huge amounts of traffic like my other blogs.

The purpose is to feature all of my work or at least links to all of my work in one neat and tidy place.

If you are visiting based on a resume I may have sent you, thank you for stopping by.

Since you already have my resume let me tell you more about myself that may not show up on the crisp piece of paper you have in your hand.

I am currently based in Halifax, Nova Scotia and the plan is to stay here for awhile.

I manage three full time blogs and freelance for Chalk.com which is a sports content provider located in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

I get to write about mostly sports betting which is funny since that is what I wanted to do at Covers.com and never was given the chance.

My work has been feature in weekyl betting magazines in the US, on the Bodog website, on the BETUSA website and a few monthly NASCAR magazines.

Since I have had the time to work more with my blogs and my writing I have learned and developed the following skills that I also incorporated at Covers.com.

  • Web design and layout.
  • Online marketing and SEO.
  • Providing content and purchasing content.
  • Dealing with advertisers and social networks.
  • Building blogs from scratch to paying my rent.
  • Joining forces with some of the biggest names in the sports blogging game.

This is only the beginning.

Other skills that you may be interested in:

  • Strong skills in HTML, CSS, XML, DHTML, etc.
  • Excellent skills in Adobe Photoshop
  • Solid understanding of JavaScript
  • Experience MySQL, PHP, and related technologies.
  • Familiarity with Plug in interactions (Flash, Windows Media Player, etc)
  • Good organization and time management skills.
  • Over 4 years web development experience.

I am sure there is even more tucked away in my brain that I don’t even know I have in there.

Please do not hesitate on contacting me because I may not fit that exact person you are looking for but I am very skilled and talented in many, many areas that are transferable into most jobs that involve communications, coordinating and working online.

Thanks again for your time.
