About Me
Hello! I'm a passionate Full Stack Web Developer and Engineering Leader based in Cottonwood, Arizona. I specialize in Artificial Intelligence, Systems Architecture, DevOps and Backend Development with over 20 years of experience in the field.
My journey began doing largely freelance or contract Web Development. Since then, I've taken on roles in the e-commerce and higher education industries, where I've led teams to build scalable, secure, high-performance web applications.
When I'm not working, you'll find me in one of my workshops, yes I have several. My interests and hobies are diverse to include woodworking, machine embroidery, 3D printing, electronics design, and more. As a life long learner I am truly not happy unless I am growing my skills with new technologies and challenging projects.

Education
Associate of Science in Math and Physics - with Distinction
Studied Electrical Engineering
I completed coursework in electrical engineering, focusing on circuit design and embedded systems. After running out of financial aid my senior year, and being unwilling to take on predatory private student loans, I transitioned back into the workforce as a full-time web developer.
Having achieved significant success in my career, I have not looked back at completing my degree.
The time I spent at ASU was not wasted, as during this time I grew an engineering mindset and exceptional skills in problem-solving across a wide range of technical domains, which I continue to utilize in my work every day.
