Where It All Began
My curiosity began where most would think it ended, at a young age with untethered admin access to a WindowsXP computer in a small apartment kitchen that, within a few weeks of tinkering, no longer had access to System32 - or anything else for that matter. Thats not the story I'm here to tell you about though.
My journey really broke ground one frosty winter morning in the early 2000s stumbling upon budding social sites like GeoCities, where a whole world was waiting to be explored. I was mesmerized by the idea of creating my own space, spending countless hours learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I was absolutely hooked. Around the time MySpace and myself had started to mature, I was selling custom themes before boarding the 7AM bus for classes.
What I Do Now
Fast forward to current day, I operate as a full-stack developer creating everything from casual hobby sites with budding third party integrations to enterprise ready professional applications capable of delivering experiences to a larger audience. I am always looking to learn new technologies and explore the latest trends. I am a firm believer in the power of the web to connect people and ideas, and I am excited to be a part of the future of the web.
What I Love
When I'm not coding, you can find me exploring the great outdoors, reading a good book, or seeking some good tunes to expand a growing record collection. Apart from listening, I also come from a family of musicans - taking after the drums.
What I Believe
At the end of the day, I am here to solve problems. I believe in delivering the best user experience possible while ensuring things stay in top shape performance. I also believe that success is ultimately found from the heart and if your heart isn't in your work, then you are on the wrong project.
What I'm Working On
I am currently working on a number of exciting projects (probably two too many), including a new web application for a local startup and a personal blog to share my thoughts and experiences with the world. I am always looking for new opportunities to collaborate with others and create something amazing. If you have a project you'd like to work on together or get another set of eyes on, I'd love to hear from you!
