I'm a front end developer with over five years of professional experience building efficient and scalable web applications. I've worked in extremely fast paced startup environments (including my own) as well as highly structured, corporate environments. I see every new experience as an opportunity to learn, and I find learning to be the most enjoyable part of my day to day work. On a daily basis, I work with technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, javascript, Backbone, Marionette, git, svn, jQuery, Underscore as well as other front end libraries. While I enjoy experimenting with new frameworks and libraries, I understand the importance of placing focus on the end goal: delivering a beautiful, functional product to the user/client. When I'm not behind a computer screen, I'm out somewhere exploring, cooking, or playing sports.

Web Developer @ From October 2014 to Present (1 year 3 months) Co Founder, CTO @ Starting a company was a great experience through which I learned a lot. Every day with VoicingUp brought new challenges and required me to learn to skills. Because I was on a team of just two, I was in charge of anything technology related including: DBA, backend development, front end development and working side by side with designers. From May 2012 to October 2014 (2 years 6 months) Greater Boston AreaWeb Developer @ Worked on a team of 5 and was in charge of working with cutting edge technologies to develop interactive, robust live learning web applications for a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course). In my time at Tott Labs I was in charge of creating a Live Learning platform in which instructors and students could collaborate through courses, live events, and office hours. I also worked heavily with Web RTC to help improve the live learning experience for both instructors as well as students through live video. From January 2013 to May 2014 (1 year 5 months) Web Developer @ Developed a system which dramatically improved the previous ticketing system that was in place in terms of both speed and efficiency. The system was built with PHP and configured to work with Microsoft technologies such as Active Directory, MSSQL, and IIS. I integrated Active Directory into the system which allowed me to create reports on user usage throughout the system and determine which areas within the company required the most attention based on ticket generation numbers. Not only did this system speed up the ticket process dramatically, it saved the company thousands of dollars by cutting out the middle man who's duty was to receive ticket requests and communicate back with onshore team members regarding a ticket's validity. Because the new system had built in ticket validation and administrative controls, the offshore team was no longer required to receive and verify ticket requests. From April 2012 to May 2014 (2 years 2 months) Developer @ Built an application that utilized Elasticsearch on a LAMP stack which massively optimized Gillette's product search and dynamic categorization capabilities. The entire application was then wrapped in a RESTful API which is used via a personalized admin panel built on bootstrap. From January 2012 to October 2013 (1 year 10 months) Greater Boston AreaFreelance Web Developer @ Developed innovative, robust applications that are being used by multiple fortune 500 companies, as well as many more smaller companies throughout the Boston area. I do most of my development in PHP, typically working on a LAMP stack. I also work with AJAX, javascript, jQuery, and bootstrap on the majority of my projects and am proficient in HTML5 and CSS3. From January 2008 to January 2013 (5 years 1 month)
