Thank you for visiting my site. Hopefully you will find what you are looking for during your stay. If you do not, I encourage you to contact me.
This site is geared specifically towards my life as a web development and to that end, I will start off with a brief history. I began programming in 8th grade (1996) with QBasic where I made a few "choose your own adventure" text based games. In 9th grade I started working on web development along with C++. During high school I created a small number of unimpressive websites, learning along the way.
While completing my bachelors in psychology I decided to build a game based off "The Matrix" movie and the current site MageWars. The source for it was lost long ago but it was a lot of fun to make. The game engine was time based in which you recieved a certain number of resources per hour. With those resource you had to construct a base and army. Fighting was all done via instant calculations based on your army "stack". My first major commerical project began just after completing college (2005) and was titled Yard Manager (see portfolio). It took about 4 months to develop and was a database driven junk yard management software with a nice GUI. Though I underestimated the competition in this market I learned a lot and, with the official founding of my business, I started doing web development as a secondary source of income.
For about two and a half years, while I was working at a mental clinic, I continued to do one off sites until I decided I could sustain myself fully as a web developer. I quit my job and decided to to pursue web development full time. I devoted a large amount of energy researching new languages, taking on more jobs and developing personal ideas that I had. On December 22nd 2007 I met Ray Pittman, owner of Quasar Enterprises, and we decided to work on a joint venture of Restaurant Web Express. While we worked on this together I started taking on more and more responsibility at Quasars. Ultimately my end position was lead graphical designer/programmer and project manager. During the three years I worked with Quasar's I learned unfathomable amounts about, not only web development, but running a business.
Unfortunately I decided that Restaurant Web Express was not a worthy investment and discontinued work on it, moving myself to a part time, subcontractor status at Quasars. I am now developing and releasing a number of web based projects from my extremely long list of ideas. I have the pleasure of working with a small number of clients whom I have developed strong relationships with and whom we share mutual success. If you are interested in working with me, it would be my pleasure to provide you with their contact information as references.
At this point in time I have extensive knowledge of both front and backend programming and pride myself on writing efficient, modular based code. I always research new technologies in web development languages and always stress the importance of web standards compliance. My organizational and interpersonal communication skills have enabled me to complete projects in a demanding environment, reaching goals with extremely short time constraints. I always take extreme pride in my work and always insist on the highest quality craftsmanship. I have been blessed to find my way, somehow, to a field that I love.
