About Soh Tanaka

4 Wheel Parts is a publicly-traded, large-scale online retailer in the automotive industry. While initially hired on as a Junior Web Designer, within my first year with 4 Wheel Parts I was promoted to Department Lead. This, in essence, broadened my responsibilities and also allowed me a greater deal of creative freedom.

As Lead Designer, I found myself working in a fast-paced front end production environment that utilized a generous tool set consisting of HTML, XHTML, CSS, and Graphics. Additionally, I developed knowledge in growing web standards in usability and Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Leading our team of developers, database analysts, copywriters, and Internet marketing specialists, I helped to create a sharp focus in project management to deliver end results that were organized, on time, and accurate.

As one of the largest online ad sales firms working with over 400 leading websites, Gorilla Nation Media specializes in the online marketing and advertising field. Hired on as an Ad Trafficking and Performance Marketing Specialist immediately following college graduation, I quickly learned the fundamentals behind online advertising, and absorbed a vast expanse of knowledge on the inner workings of development-based e-commerce marketing.

Having acquired a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Information Systems from DeVry University, my design experience began with a programming background that laid the groundwork for a comprehensive design skill set.
