The most important thing to know about me as a developer is that it is always my top priority to find the most elegant and expedient solutions for my clients, no matter what technical challenges they may face!

Backstory

I was first introduced to WordPress while working as the webmaster for the Computer Science Department at the University of Rhode Island in 2006, so I have been happily coding on the platform for the better part of 14 years!

Brief Professional History

Luckily, I have had the privilege to work in many diverse areas/companies, such as:

• The developer of a reverse auction site for used car parts.
• The core maintainer of a middle-tier service linking a proprietary database to a web front-end.
• A developer tasked with reverse engineering and enhancing a popular massively multi-player online role-playing game.
• The CTO of a marketing agency serving myriad clients, from small one-person startups to enterprise real estate management firms.
• The senior architect of an email marketing SaaS platform.
• The lead engineer of an online multiplayer collectible card game.
• A senior engineer for advertising and brand management-related services at an international credit card company.

This has allowed me to ramp up on many of the core technologies needed for today’s web, including:

• HTML, CSS and vanilla JS (the basics)
• PHP, jQuery and MySQL (the WordPress basics)
• Node.js, React and Electron (the fun new backend and frontend technologies)
• Java and C/C++ (the standard enterprise languages every developer should know)
• x86 assembly and IDA (reverse engineering 101)

Fun Facts

• I am a die-hard Star Wars fan, so my close friends call me Jedi.
• I am frequently described as a man who thinks “outside-of-the-box”, since I come up with novel solutions to problems.
• I play a mean saxophone! 😉
