I was ten years of age when first introduced to Windows Terminal, a 2400 baud modem and how to connect to another computer over a phone line. My excitement was limited at first however, as text would transmit only when the mouse was moved around. I would not be deterred from getting the full experience and, as such, eventually fixed the IRQ conflict between my mouse and modem. Soon afterwards I acquired a DOS terminal suite and a 28.8K modem. enjoying ANSI graphics, multi-user chat rooms, games and eventually bash shells running IRC. This was the point in my life where I became a sponge for anything computer related. It's almost twenty years later -- with fifteen of those consisting of professional experience -- and my passion is as strong as ever. From the moment I connected to my first BBS, I knew what I wanted to do, and that computers were going to change everything. I have been involved in hundreds of projects since my early foray into computers, including but not limited to: Design, Back-end and Front-end Development (Desktop and Web) as well as Technical Consultation and Support. Have seen over two-hundred projects through to completion for a number of clients in a wide range of categories.

As a contractor, both while employed and between full-time positions, I've served clients as a full-stack engineer, creative technologist, and technology generalist. The majority of the projects being custom web based solutions, public and private, and almost always with at least one or two custom solutions per project – i.e. dynamic PDF rendering, real-time multi-user updates, dynamic image composition, text-to-speech rendering, etc. I have worked/managed local teams and globally distributed teams to produce mission-critical, highly available interactive applications and websites of all sizes.
Additional projects have included custom software, mobile apps, browser extensions, interactive displays, website/SPAs/SaaS development, UX/UI consultation, business workflow optimization/automation, SEO optimization, user-generated content campaigns, web3 connected applications/bots, telemetry/monitoring, and content delivery systems, machine learning/self-optimizing computer vision systems, and much more.
Though my primary work is software/web development, I provide other services as an MSP, including IT consulting and technical support, network installation/management (routers, switches, wireless), VOIP systems, cloud services, on-premise servers, security/camera systems, and more.
