Code

I have spent the better part of the last 15 years building experiences for the web – both in personal and professional roles. My journey in development began in 2002 with the creation of a single website for my then Little League team using a WYSIWYG editor from Homestead. Soon after I would discover the incredible power of viewing a page source. By having a strong passion for technology and the desire to learn, I would go on to teach myself HTML, CSS, PHP, mySQL, WordPress, and more while working with hundreds of clients along the way.

Whether building full-scale eCommerce websites or simple landing pages, I approach each project with the same passion and business-oriented mindset. I am a creative problem solver who is always looking for new challenges and reasons to advance my skill-set with emerging technologies, and fully believe that the best way to learn is by doing.

Skills

As an entirely self-taught developer my skills are continuously evolving based on what projects I am involved in. From the beginning I have learned by doing, and believe there is no bigger motivator than being placed with a new challenge in front and asked to solve it using technologies and means that are new to you.

I have dabbled in many popular JavaScript frameworks and CSS preprocessors, used package managers such as NPM and Bower, made hundreds of commits to GIT, and even experimented with mobile frameworks such as Ionic. While my experience with many of these is relatively limited because past work has not required the use of such technologies, I am confident in my ability to learn and apply on the fly to meet the needs of any specific project.
