JESSE DOCKETT


WEB DEVELOPER / SOFTWARE ENGINEER / MOVIE MAKER

My name is Jesse Dockett. I believe in creating beautiful, memorable experiences
across the web. I believe mobile devices are changing the landscape of the
internet and we should be designing for them first. I believe that good design
is about what you leave out, not what you include. I believe in a better web. I
love simple and elegant design, clean and usable interfaces, and semantic and
scalable code. My focus is creating a pure web experience on every device. I
also make short videos from time to time. I recently started a great web
development and IT consulting company called Digital Fox with some talented
associates. We are looking for fun and exciting partners to work with. If this
is you, get in touch.




MY EXPERIENCE

The long winters in Michigan got me started on the web at a young age. I
completed my first website at 14 years old. A friend was making simple computer
games and he wanted a simple website to share his work with the world.


THE EARLY YEARS

Shortly after making that first website I was introduced to Myspace. Myspace at
the time was a great place for musicians and artists to share their work with
the world. It also happened to be a great place for me to share my design and
development chops with the world. I began styling pages for friends and even a
few paying customers. I pushed Myspace's system to the absolute limit.

In 2008 Myspace began to dry up and people began using Facebook instead. Since
Facebook didn't have an interface that I could interact with, my outlet for web
design was gone. Luckily, I was able to land an after school job at the local
newspaper as a sort of photo intern that same year. After my internship ended, I
was able to stay on as a freelance photographer for another year before the
newspaper really began to downsize.


FREELANCING

In 2011 I began honing my skills again. I made a few small websites and I was
hooked again. I was quickly picked up by Ohno Design, a growing web design
company to help them make the area's web presence more beautiful.


OHNO DESIGN

I began working for Ohno Design part time in the late summer of 2012. While
working with Ohno I have been able to explore my talents in design, development,
and movie making. In my three years with them, I worked on over 100 websites and
made about a dozen short movies. I had the opportunity to meet and work with
some great people from some great organizations including NASA, The University
of Michigan, and DOW.


BAISD CAREER CENTER

In 2017 I was offered an instructor position at the Bay Arenac ISD Career Center
teaching software engineering and web development to high school juniors and
seniors. My students have developed some amazing projects and I am proud to
guide them on their path to become the software engineers and web developers of
tomorrow.


BAY CITY COMMISSION

2017 was a busy time for me. I ran a very successful campaign to represent the
First Ward of Bay City on the Bay City Commission. I pounded the pavement daily,
had a strong online presence, and ran an aggressive print campaign that showed
people that I was dedicated to making Bay City a brighter place and they
responded. I won my primary election with 78% of the vote and the general
election with 83% of the vote. Since then, I have worked to improve sidewalks
and roads, add playground equipment into a park that has been lacking it for
some time, and improve city services and infrastructure while keeping costs as
low as possible.


DIGITAL FOX

In November of 2018 I partnered with some other talented IT professionals to
form Digital Fox. We are a full service IT consulting, custom web and software
development, marketing, networking, and cyber security company that is rapidly
growing.
