About Me

I have nearly years of experience as a software developer, working for clients ranging in size and scope from startups to cruise lines. My primary focus has been developing high-volume, robust applications that streamline existing infrastructure.

I love creating things. Engineering a solution with a team to solve a real business problem is genuinely satisfying work. I thrive in senior and lead roles where I can collaborate closely with a team, mentor others, and keep growing as both a developer and a technical leader.

  • Led the design and development of a flagship product utilized to consolidate scattered third party APIs into one easy to access system.
  • Led team in migrating large project from obsolete framework to Yii2, reworking system to allow for more agile development of new features at the same time.
  • Redeveloped the main online storefront from a home grown platform to a modern MVC framework.
  • Created and maintained reporting systems for clients, allowing the easy consumption and comparison of data from many sources.
Personal Interests
  • Contact and Fire spinning. A friend introduced me to Poi and Contact Staff and I've been hooked ever since. I find the experience of lighting up and performing to be a cathartic experience unlike any other.
  • Sailing and Kayaking. I've always loved the water, and enjoy being on it as much as I can, whether it's sailing the bay or finding a new spot in the mangroves to explore.
  • Travel. I firmly believe in the philosophy that travel expands the mind and have had the opportunity to travel quite often in my life. I enjoy visiting new places, trying new foods, and exploring far from home.
Recent Projects
  • At Sourcetoad I was a key member of the team that designed and built a product intended to work as an IOT device manager, CDN, analytics platform, and booking system for guests. All while disconnected from the wider world and using data from a number of sources with varying quality of data. When connection to the wider world was available, the system would sync data allowing for central control of a dispersed set of systems.
  • Assisted with the creation of a system capable of working through large datasets of hotel pricing/availability. Utilizing a set of dynamic rules, this system could quickly and with a high degree of certainty, advise users on the best deals that fit within their criteria.
  • Examples of work are available upon request
