Hello, World!

I'm a software engineer and technical product manager with almost 20 years of experience. I've worked on everything from small websites to large enterprise applications supporting many different runtimes. I'm always looking for new opportunities to learn and grow. There's a very good chance I am learning something new right now at this very moment!

Some of my favorite things are:

1. Learning new things
2. Helping others
3. Creating things
4. Exploring new places
5. Meeting new people

Please check out and enjoy the site. It's a work in progress, but I'm always adding new things. Find any easter eggs yet?! Almost everything was hand-crafted in raw HTML, CSS, and JS ‐ with a text editor. Why? Because this is my hobby project, and I wanted to avoid industrial level tooling. It is time to get back to my roots! (with the help of just a few key libraries, like GSAP)

My history with computing

I was born a little late for the early days of Usenet and BBS, but I remember our local ISP had pay per minute websites for certain games and content. Dialup charges to the tune of $1 ‐ $5 / minute! I remember my first computer was a windows 4.1 machine. We played Lemmings and Snake. I found a "Python" icon somewhere on the C: drive and thought it was another game like Snake. The indecipherable UI and text therein mystified me. From there, I was writing my own games on a TI-83. C++ was my first real language, followed by Java, and C#.

Now I'm an engineering leader and product development specialist. I've brought multiple apps and platforms from idea to production for banks, universities, airports, manufacturers, scientists, and the federal government. It has certainly been a wild ride so far, and I can't wait to see what's next!

Thanks for stopping by!
