I’m a full-stack developer with extensive knowledge and experience creating web applications. I have a passion for creating fantastical user experiences and a thirst for knowledge. I first got started creating a Java intranet web application using REST. Since then, I’ve learned Angular, Material Design, AddThis, ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET Web API, ASP.NET Entity Framework, Django, Google Maps API, Facebook Graph API, Twitter API, PayPal SDK, and a deeper knowledge of full-stack development
I have hands-on experience in system design: creating REST API’s, microservices, and integrating external API’s into internal systems. As well as years of experience hosting SaaS applications in AWS environments and client hosted environments.
I enjoy both front-end and back-end development. Front-end development allows me to make cool UI effects using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. I get to flex my skills in graphic programs such as Adobe Photoshop. Back-end development lets me exercise my problem solving ability (not saying front-end development doesn’t have its own problems). Working on the back-end allows me to create data access layers, services, business logic, authentication, bundling and minification, and complex queries for data. Both front-end and back-end development is enjoyable to work on.
