My Story
Software has given me an outlet for my attention to detail and tendency to deep dive into subject matter.
I fell in love with web development about 10 years ago and have been passionately and enthusiastically learning it since.
I started with WordPress and Bootstrap and have now moved onto completely custom web applications built with the latest cutting edge technologies.
I've always been very interested in performance, simplicity, using existing tools, and not reinventing the wheel.
My typical services include full stack web development/software engineering, AWS cloud, webscraping, cloud automations, and email/SMS marketing.
My Tech & Focus
- Vue, Nuxt, React, Next, Node/Express, Astro
- Vuetify, Tailwind CSS, Material UI
- Firestore, AWS Lambda, Step Functions
- Ubuntu/Linux VPS
- Fast Time to Market/MVP
- User Analytics, Behavior, & Retention
- SMS & Email Marketing
