I'm a web application developer with more than ten years of professional experience creating fast and intuitive web apps. I specialize in writing modern code that's highly performant and easy to deploy and scale. I value planning and thoughtfulness in the development cycle, I excel at verbal and written communication in a highly technical environment, and I strive to promote positive and productive relationships.
Apps I designed, built, and shipped end to end — from the data model and API through to the interface people actually touch.
Golf performance analytics
A golf performance tracker for logging rounds, reviewing shot data, and calculating your handicap. Play alongside friends, compete on shared leaderboards, and get an AI review after every round that turns a scorecard into a clear picture of what actually cost you strokes.
Recipes, meal plans, shopping lists
An app for saving, searching, and organizing your favorite recipes from anywhere on the web. Link a Kroger account and send a recipe's ingredients straight to your shopping cart, then schedule a pickup, so dinner is planned and bought without a trip down the aisles.
Mock REST API in Go
A Go-based JSONPlaceholder clone for testing and prototyping, with six resource types, full mock CRUD routes, filtering, pagination, and a built-in docs landing page.
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 accessibility 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 integrating 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.
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 successful 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.
