A little about me
"Give a man a program, frustrate him for a day. Teach a man to program, frustrate him for a lifetime."
- Bryan Burns
How it Started
But do you know how it works?
I've always been drawn to technology
but I didn't realize how little I understood it until my grandfather once asked how computers work.
That question sparked the curiosity that's shaped my career ever since.
Early Tech Work
I began with building PCs and doing basic repairs.
In 2011, I started using spreadsheets at my first job andwas fascinated by how much you could do with just formulas.
I automated nightly math tasks
learned some basics of data visualization
and later
| Part Name | Part Id | Unit ($) | Qty | Total Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total | $0.00 |
Finding the Limits
added barcode-scanning functionality to a spreadsheet used to manage million$ in inventory.
Eventually, I hit the limits of what basic spreadsheets could do.

The Arduino Moment
In 2015
while trying to solve my own problem
β waking up early βI bought an Arduino kit to build a sunrise alarm clock with LEDs.
The first time I saw an LED respond to my code
I was hooked.

Wanting to connect my Arduino projects and control them remotely
I turned to web development
Its accessibility was a big draw
no special tools
just a computer
and an internet connection.

After a couple of years of learning and building personal projects...
I landed my first full-time dev job in 2021.
I've been building software professionally ever since,
while continuing to work on passion projects at home.

Projects
While working at Bowen Media one of the largest projects I took on was being the primary developer for the Walk-On's website redesign.
Working with an awesome design team and support from the dev team guaranteed an amazing result. I'm proud to have worked on such a cool project!
Check it out!
Walk On's
Mercury
Monster is a company built on great communication. Naturally, that meant a lot of, well, communicating.
Over time, that translated into a massive number of phone calls, texts, and emails β resulting in a mess of scattered information.
Mercury was the solution.
It built rich contact profiles by using message metadata to combine conversations across channels into a single, centralized thread. Giving us a complete, organized view of every customer interaction.
Mercury allowed users to upload spreadsheets and connect the data to templated emails and messages, making it easy to send both mass marketing emails and transactional messages.
It also tracked message events like delivery and read status, giving the marketing team valuable insights. Helping them make smarter decisions β like figuring out the best time to send an email to boost open rates.
apiary
/ΛΔpΔΛerΔ/2Beeks is a family-owned and operatedapiarylocal to southern NJ.
The owners (and my best friends), Michael and Andy, have been beekeeping for years and have grown to have many beehives.
Now they're looking to expand their reach and asked me to help with their website redesign.
I'm designing everything from scratch using Figma. All of the code is being built to integrate with their Square store and a CMS for easy content management.
This is a project I'm currently working on so be sure to visit it and bookmark it for later!
Especially if you like homemade, locally-sourced honey!
