About Me


Who I am, what I am,
& why I am
I am a passionate designer who has made the specific effort of knowing every aspect of the field I work in. I wanted to know how the sausage (software in this case) was made and that quest can easily fill a lifetime. Whether messing around with a brand new concept or dusting off an old classic for a project, curiosity and growth has always been my motivation.
Currently, I am a full stack developer with hands-on experience in developing accessible and scalable software. I spend my days collaborating with my team, asking questions, answering questions, and offering up new solutions for whatever problem I find myself facing.
I am here because I believe in what I do, creating accessible tools that are actually being used by people who need it. I love seeing my work have an impact, but I also love the process of creating that work to begin with.
Typically when I am not developing or designing, you can find me watching movies with absolute and unbroken attention, strength training at the gym, or slowly but surely developing a video game. While I would say those are the three most likely scenarios, I would never turn down an invitation to a (very) casual sand volleyball league or hiking around Fontenelle Forest.

SKILLS
Software Development
For software development, I employ a variety of skills. Most notably, I use JavaScript (React, Node.js), PHP, and Typescript. Outside of these I also have experience in Python and Java. My experience spans the full development lifecycle from initial planning to deployment.
Graphic Design
I try to make sure creativity is at the heart of whatever I am doing, delivering exactly what is expected of me, and making that deliverable striking at the same time. I am skilled in the Adobe Creative Suite (although I prefer Affinity) to make logos, branding, assets, and so on.
UI/UX
I aim to create intuitive and aesthetically compelling user interfaces that any user can understand and easily use. I generally research, wireframe, and prototype before I open up my code editor. I am proficient in Figma and Adobe XD with a strong emphasis on accessability in my designs. I personally believe pre-production to be one of if not the most important step of the process.
Soft Skills
I am a collaborative soul, whether it's with a client or developing on a team, communication is how projects see completion. Adaptability is another trait that I take pride in, all lanes of my work are constantly evolving and keeping up to date on new technologies can make a meaningful difference. I stay calm under pressure and can learn from virtually any experience, good or bad.
