I've been a professional, full-time software developer since 2005, with freelance and hobbyist work extending back to the Internet's infancy. I've worked primarily on the web, developing back end systems, front end interfaces, and everything in between. I've also spent a significant portion of my time implementing and operating various front-end web test and tracking systems, such as Omniture and Google Analytics. While my expertise lies in implementing these systems, I have developed a strong sense for testing and analytics. I love data visualization, prototyping, scripting, user interfaces, graphic design, art, and experiments in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and information processing. I attempt to integrate these affinities into my work whenever possible, operating under the premise that, if you throw your passion into your creations, they will be great. My goal is simply to build great things, drawing upon an inner entrepreneurial spirit. I aspire to, one day, do something revolutionary by combining my art and technology expertise.

Senior Software Engineer @ Work individually and in small teams on a variety of projects, ranging from front end website ui to back end business logic and core functionality. My emphasis is on web development and analytics, using a myriad of different technologies including java, javascript, html5, .net, SiteCatalyst, and a litany of internal tools. I often work in a designer capacity, particularly when I'm the lead developer on a project. From December 2007 to Present (8 years 1 month) Software Engineering Manager @ Took charge of a four full time developer team in addition to three summer interns. As manager of these teams, I broke down larger business objectives into logical portions of work which I delegated based on my team members’ skills and learning goals. Much of the time was spent developing these business goals with business leaders, participating in assessments of the strategy, feasibility, and costs behind them. Beyond executing on business objectives, I was responsible for maintaining company culture within my groups, organizing various activities to foster team member collaboration and learning. The significant effort expended in doing this earned me Homestead's "unsung hero" award, an award granted to a select few who go above and beyond what is required by fellow employees and executives.
