About me

I began developing websites while I was still in High School and have been doing it ever since. My expertise is in providing custom web applications that can be managed entirely by the end user. Full stack developer means that I am able to handle the task of building a website from beginning to end, from nailing down customer needs and templating a layout, to delivering a finished product, and of course being available for support after deployment.

Anything worth doing, is worth doing right.

My Skills

My most recent work has been in the C#, Blazor Environment where I have been developing applications using cutting edge MVVM frameworks and libraries. Experimenting with AngularJS, jQuery, and WebSockets is how I have fun in my spare time.

In the past I also have developed in Python and PHP 5 and am still fluent in these environments.
