With over 10 years as a developer and a background in software engineering, I specialize in building mobile and web applications, as well as blazing fast websites by using the latest technologies to prioritize site/app performance ultimately resulting in faster page load speeds and better SEO all delivered with beautifully and functionally designed user interfaces.

Technologies

Proficient in the MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node) stack, my favorite technologies to use when building digital solutions are HTML, CSS, Javascript, React (along with various React frameworks such as NEXT.js and Gatsby.js), React Native, Node, Mongo DB and Socket.io for applications that require real-time communication between the client and server.

Design

I truly love the design process and conceptualizing from the imagination a beautiful digital experience. My "go-to" design tools are Figma, Photoshop, and Adobe XD for building mockups, wireframes, and customizing the visual assets necessary for an aesthetically and visually pleasing user experience.

Miscellaneous

Technology is always changing and I’m always learning in order to adapt to the changing market. As such, other notable technologies that I have experience and knowledge in include, PostgreSQL for building relational databases, Netlify for front-end deployments. Heroku and Vercel for back-end deployments, Shopify Liquid templating language for building custom Shopify storefronts, AWS for cloud infrastructure services and OpenAI for building AI solutions.
