ABOUT ME
Senior software engineer crafting happiness with code
Senior software engineer crafting happiness with code

Greetings! I am a life-long coder with 15 years of professional experience in front-end, back-end and full-stack development, working on everything from greenfield projects to enterprise-grade apps with millions of users.

I am an expert in web browser technology yet proficient with many tools across the stack. I believe that quality is everything, and I wish to help people improve their coding skills, communication skills, and problem solving skills so they can stand out from the crowd by being well-rounded in every aspect of software engineering.

Vue became my favorite JS framework back in 2015, and my passion still holds strong to this day. I find Vue to excel in complex real-time applications, especially those with rich state management systems. I have used Vue to build entire applications from scratch, my latest project being AlphaJams.com.

Originally built my latest creation AlphaJams.com in React, and have developed numerous side projects with it.

Put my skills to the test and built a complete full-stack web application across 8+ years using Vue, Vuetify, Elixir and Phoenix. The app teaches people how to “jam” (improvise musically) via unique visualizations that are designed to help people build muscle memory of essential music patterns.

Architected and implemented every aspect of the platform, excluding the cloud infrastructure. Platform consists of numerous applications, internal packages, subscription payments, and offers many unique compatibility and performance challenges.
