I'm a Developer
In my over 15 years of experience, I started with more of the back-end technologies. First with classic VB Script, then with .NET and C#, but lately most of my projects have been PHP-based, with custom development with the CodeIgniter framework, which uses the MVC design pattern.
As front-end developing became more popular with jQuery and various JavaScript libraries, I quickly incorporated these into my toolbox. Over the past few years I gained experience with a lot of the popular libraries and I have written my own jQuery functions.

I'm also a Designer
I really enjoyed art classes in elementary school (who didn't?), but the first time opening the program Photoshop was a game changer. I quickly realized the potential of knowing the ins and outs of it, and began to learn as much as I could.
To be able to alter every aspect of the design of a web page, then see that design become a page layout, and then that to grow into a working website -- is remarkably empowering. Not "easy" by any means, but it is achievable and very rewarding.

I'm a pro with the Suite of Adobe Software
Whether it's editing images in Photoshop, vectorizing a logo in Illustrator, or coding a web page from an XD design, Adobe's software is my go-to for anything print, web, or app related.

I'm great with Microsoft Office, too
Whether it's formatting a word document, crunching data in excel, or a mail merge between the two, I've got a lot of experience with all facets of MS Office.

And, I'm a good guy
I get along with people. I can take constructive criticism without feeling attacked personally. I communicate effectively in person, on the phone, and in writing. I always try to leave the conversation having learned something.

I'm New(ish) to San Diego
For a little over 3 years I've been working as the e-commerce developer using a headless Shopify instance of our online store. With a Code Igniter based front-end, we were able to fully control the entire shopping experience of our customers (and not using the Shopify Checkout Flow).
I'm a proud alumni from the University of North Florida (SWOOP!). I held several positions in Jacksonville, all of which had design and development components. I moved to San Diego in January of 2016 to find a really awesome tech job.
I'm searching for a position where I can contribute alongside a collaborative team of experienced designers and developers who are also interested in pushing their limits and learning new skills. If you're looking for a hybrid web guy to join your team or agency in the San Diego area, your search may very well be over.
I built this website to exemplify my skills in development and design.
Please give me a thumbs up if you like what you see!
