I work as a web developer, making all kinds of interesting things for a variety of purposes and people. On any given day I might create custom page layouts, manage WordPress instances, and administer SharePoint sites. Creating content for BrightSign (TV) displays is also a part of my repertoire.

Knowing how to work with people is a fundamental skill in modern web development. I work hard to understand those who use the tools I build, their needs, and what perks up their interest. It takes digging and discussion along with lots of empathy in order to write effective requirements for a project. I enjoy guiding the discovery process and participating in demos and post-mortems. I earned my PMI-ACP certification in February of 2023.

I consider myself a full-stack developer. I delight in playing with CSS and getting mundane HTML elements to do interesting and bizarre things. I have experience with various forms of SQL and backend languages like PHP and C#. And of course there's Javascript, which is everywhere doing everything these days.

With a decade of experience as a full-stack web developer and technical lead, I specialize in designing and maintaining complex, data-driven web applications and interactive experiences. My background spans web development, real-time transit systems, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise content management, which aligns closely with the requirements of this role. At Central Ohio Transit Authority, I lead web-facing projects leveraging React, Node.js, WordPress, Gatsby, and BrightSign displays to deliver interactive dashboards and real-time transit tools. I develop custom APIs in C# that integrate multiple data sources, manage AWS cloud services, and maintain Linux and Windows servers. My experience extends to SharePoint administration, Office365 tools, and headless CMS architectures, enabling scalable solutions for internal teams and external users alike. I am particularly skilled at translating complex technical requirements into accessible, usable solutions. I thrive in Agile environments, mentoring colleagues, and providing subject matter expertise while maintaining a collaborative and approachable demeanor. Beyond technical proficiency, I am a problem solver who anticipates challenges and creates efficient solutions across platforms and systems.
