I've been working in web development for the past 20 years, focusing on the front end, and with a knack for improving the development experience of those around me. Lately, my work has been around component libraries, building solutions around development constraints, migrating legacy work with Claude Code, and automating these processes GitHub workflows. I'm excited to see how I can impact users and developers alike.
In this role, I worked as part of the team responsible for improving the design and development of our applications' front-end. As such, I took on projects to resolve sumbling points in the compay's systems and improve our customers' experience.
Collaborated with customer management, QA, and design teams to build upon the product for our range of users.
When I started, it was a small development team of 5 people working on a product for use within the company. Since then, it has grown to a 50 person software team working on a variety of internal and external products. Growing alongside the company has allowed me to learn a variety of technical skills and development procedures.
I worked with different groups (design, QA, product) to develop a marketable product.
The company transitioned from creating software for our sales team, to creating software for external customers; and this allowed me to learn a new side of software development.
Right out of college, I learned a lot about software development and how to work on a small team to develop software that was critical for the company to be able to grow.
A light-weight, but powerful, react router. This project was born out of wanting a simple solution instead of a big dependency with a big API.
I ran the 2022 Chicago Marathon with Finish MS charity, with the goal to come in at 4 hours.
A fun little project to help add and track points for the card game Quiddler. It served as a nice excuse to learn Github Actions and brush-up on PWA practices.
This is a re-creation of the classic minesweeper, but on an infinite field. It started as a fun idea and grew into an excuse to get more familiar with redux.
This is a zero-sum budget program I developed to get my wife and I out of rigid and fragile spreadsheets. I've used this project to evaluate different front-end frameworks (including the redux store within react). Out of this, in 2013, I spearheaded Centro's move to Angular.
