Core Technology

I write high performance web apps using languages and frameworks that maximize the benefits of modern HTML, CSS and browser APIs. I focus on providing responsive and intuitive user interfaces by using modern ES6 Javascript, React, Material UI and other popular libraries. I also use the latest build and deploy tools such as Webpack and Lighthouse to test my code, ensure accessability standards are met, and encourage positive user interaction.

I build fast and scalable server infrastructure following industry standards using Node and MongoDB. I have experience writing custom APIs following the latest security standards, as well as intergrating custom services with third party APIs. I have experience deploying applications with the largest hosting providers, such as Digital Ocean, Microsoft Azure, and AWS, all while using modern containerization technologies like Docker.

Professional Skills

I'm a highly motivated developer with more than five years of professional experience. I'm exceptionally personable and have the rare gift of being able to communicate technically, professionally, and socially. I excel at taking high-level ideas from clients and executives, then converting those ideas into actionable tasks that technical-minded developers can work from.

I strive to exhibit a wide array of leadership skills in my daily routine, and I acknowledge that it takes many skills to build a sucessful product. I believe that careful planning and thoughtfulness promotes high quality web products. I think that diligent documentation benefits customers and employees by reducing confusion and spreading product knowledge. I believe that my timeliness, creative problem solving, and my ability to promote positive relationships will solidify my presence as a professional and as a leader.
