Welcome.

As a developer I have put into production a wide variety of products ranging from distributed web applications, developer tools, and desktop applications. Along the way I have always had a passion for coding and the process of building something cool that customers use to make their work life better.

I am a full stack developer and embrace the idea that distributed applications lend themselves to encapsulated silos of technology. When done right, these silos encourage test driven development, automation, and independant deployment.

I feel strongly that coding is collaborative. Over the years I have been told by my peers that I have a positive impact on those I work with.

I am well versed with the typical tools needed to create a client solution (JavaScript frameworks/CSS/REST). What makes me unique is my ability to create an intuitive experience that seemlessly guides the user through the task at hand. In addition, I am able to contribute basic visual effects and have adequate Photoshop skills to deliver graphics optimized for rapid delivery.

Being able to code both the server REST API and the client consumption of said API has some benefits. I am able to more rapidly build out product and, in the long run, can establish a more stable solution.

The majority of my experience is in this tier. On many occasions I've created secure, easily consumable, and well documented interfaces. These interfaces have been leveraged by in house and 3rd party developers. From there it's all about creating clean well commented code that supports agreed upon business logic. Thumbs up to Swagger!

Server storage can take many forms. My background using Microsoft SQL Sever has proven useful when in cloud based applications. I also have experience with other forms of distributed system storage like NoSQL, tables, queues, and BLOB storage.

To date I have worked on multiple projects that use Azure as the base cloud technology. While I am not an Azure architect I am quite familiar with what it takes to create a production application that uses various forms of storage, cross process eventing, and staged deployment.

Skills/Abilities

Instead of my experience in detail (that's what my resume is for), I've opted to do the "a picture is worth a thousand words" thing.

Here's some icons of tech I like working with, a word cloud of tech stuff, and a word cloud for who I am as a person.
