About Me

My Work

I've been a full stack web developer professionally for more than half a decade now but I've been coding since I was 10. From starting my own company to building the infrastructure for multi million dollar e-commerce sites I've worked in a ton of environments.

My Tech

The languages I'm most comfortable with are PHP, Golang, Javascript, HTML and CSS. I've used these technologies in production: Laravel, Kubernetes, Vue.js, React, SASS, AWS, Postgres, MySQL, Typescript, Angular, and Docker. I've also dabbled in python, processing, objective-c and numerous other languages and technologies.

My Ethos

An avid hiker, biker and gamer I love experiencing life to it's fullest. Coding is my passion and I expect to continue working and learning for a long time.
