I am a Software Developer with over 3 years of experience in full stack development. I design scalable REST APIs, low volume relational / time series databases, and websites on CMS platforms.
I’ve had a web server since I was 15 and now experiment with Linux based boards for my car.
While my professional work is centered around the web, I am proficient in many development stacks including Javascript, Go, and Python.
I actively utilize my own embedded projects, and love to adapt and contribute to others’.
I am looking for a position where my broad skillset and eagerness to learn will be a strong asset to an agile team.
Projects
Selected Works
MDroid

Read MeMy Process
Research and Development
Research
I collaborate with those involved, making a list of requirements for the project. Asking questions early sets expectations and saves work down the line.
Toolchains
I believe in finding the best tool for the job, not always what I'm most comfortable with. Finding libraries and modules ensures we don't do the same work twice.
Design
I create an initial breakdown of deliverables that satisfy the requirements, which helps prioritize work and keeps maintenance low.
Development
I write out structures for each component, adding features after each full test of the product. Catching mistakes or changes is easiest early in development.
Iteration
I keep front end development in lockstep with any backend, making progress clearly visible. Clients often have direction adjustments I'm happy to accomodate.
Repeat
I approach each new project with what I've learned from the last. I'm continiously learning and making things better than before.
