About

I am a successful, independent, full-stack developer. I love what I do and I will bring that passion and success to your project(s).

My formal education is in mechanical engineering. But, after a few years in the ‘real world’ I realized that what I wanted to do was in the IT (Information Technology) world. I began working as a computer tech, moved to systems administration and then on to programming.

I started working independently in 2002, after working for the previous five years as a contractor. As a contractor I worked with Lucent Technologies, IBM, Edward Jones, BJC Health Systems and Anheuser Busch. In early 2002, I realized I could offer the same service at a much better rate and began working as an independent consultant.

Today, I continue to do what I love. My only mission is to discover and create beautiful code for awesome projects.

My better days may involve diving into a React app, building an elegant interface with CSS/SASS, giving an app some awesome functionality with JavaScript/jQuery/Angular, building out the back-end of a web app with PHP, or creating a mobile app with Ionic and Cordova. Some days, I even get to do a little game development with the Unity3D Engine.

Additionally, I might:
-Whip up some Python code and dabble in some AI.
-Get my hands ‘dirty’ building an IoT proof-of-concept device with an Arduino or Raspberry Pi board.
-Fill my brain with the latest technologies with classes from Udemy, Udacity, or another online training site.
-Spend some time working out or at the beach with a cold brew. :)

I should also mention that I am a guru with WordPress. I have built my fair share of custom themes, plugins and widgets for WordPress.

Many have told me, “you're not what I expect when I think of a programmer.” And it’s true. I’m not the typical ‘nerd.’ When I’m not programming or attending meetups with other developers, you can usually find me outside. I enjoy off-road biking, bike racing, soccer, softball, SCUBA, and camping. But, when I’m not outside, you will probably find me in front of my computer, programming, or build some type of an electrical device.
