Web Developer / Architect Resume

Requirements

Capturing the initial vision and goal of the solution is one of the most incredible phases of development. Not only meeting with the client, but augmenting their vision with technical advances that were previously not understood.

Scalability

Great architecture accounts for the long-term goal of infinite scalability. From the interface design to the back-end database design, every solution I create lasts for the life of the company or until the requirements change drastically.

Platform

Choosing the correct platform for a particular solution is vital. With emerging technologies driving up the costs of development pipelines and staff wages, working with tried and true technologies is critical for successful development.

I was fortunate to begin my career at the age of 18 helping to develop what is now known as TurboTax. I am currently developing Kotlin Android apps to run on industrial handhelds. I have a wide range of programming projects in my portfolio from low-level languages, to standard web, database, and UI development, to micro-controllers inside specialized wearables, to mobile Android and iOS devices.
