About Me

Big into listening to music, making music and rebuilding my 1967 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. With the free time I do have, I build web dev projects that I can believe in. I'm continuously learning anything about everything.

About Me

Currently Listening To

Core Strengths

jQuery

Being able to manipulate the DOM using the latest jQuery technologies is probably one of my favorite things to do with front-end development. Constantly staying on top of jQuery and what it has to offer to create the most out of a users experience on a website is an absolute must for me.

Wordpress

Custom wordpress themes for any type of project small or large seems to be regular in my day to day routine as a web developer.

Project Management

Being able to communicate effectively is probably the most important quality of a strong project manager. Spending time observing people, their personalities and how they communicate. Constantly practicing all forms of communication.

HTML/CSS

A given of course but being able to create exact replicas of any PSD still exists in my day to day activities as a front end developer. Always finding better ways to streamline the PSD -> HTML process.

UI/UX

Highly passionate about perfect user engagement and interaction using a powerful medium of both programming and design presented in innovative ways that clearly conveys user interest.

Design

As primarily a Front End Developer I take pride in the fact that I still have a keen eye for design and can create beautiful full functioning designs for freelance and contract based opportunities.

PHP/mySql

I love data. I also love to display data in unique and creative ways. This has helped push me into back end development, working with database architectures and creating efficient mySql calls to get information to display in any shape or form.

The company was founded in 2006 by a couple of friends who were looking to fundraise for charity, but didn't know how to get started. They envisioned a platform that made it easy for Nonprofits to turn their supporters into fundraisers; and so, they set off to build one. After years of testing their concept with dozens of Nonprofits, their initial idea has evolved into what is now an industry-leading online fundraising solution for Charities, Foundations, Churches, Schools, Clubs and more. Recently, the founders were selected by Bloomberg Businessweek as one of the top 5 most promising social entrepreneurs in America. The company is also the host of the Classy Awards, the largest philanthropic awards show in the Country.

Development Project

Its primary focus is creating a one page dashboard for ambitious young professionals that want to network solely with other ambitious young professionals. The goal for this project is creating a new and innovative way to display useful information to simply help speed the process up of learning how to make more cash flow.

This is a place where users can share information through chat, a wall feed, select news apis, and informative graphs and charts to analyze the current state of the market. The goal is to see what kind of things can be created when you put heavy hitting young pros in one unique social networking platform. Est. Launch: June 2013
