Software Engineer

Web Developer, IT Technician, App Developer

Born and raised in the rocky mountains of Salt Lake City, Utah I have been programming since I got a TI-84 calculator in 8th grade. In high school, I pursued technical classes in computer science where I learned C# and C++. I began a degree in Information Systems but soon I decided to attend a boot camp in Provo, Utah called DevMountain. It was at DevMountain that I excelled in learning HTML, CSS, and AngularJS which jump-started my career in Web Technology.

I now enjoy studying any language or framework ranging from IOS development in Swift to React web programs and ElectronJS desktop solutions. I always have a side project in progress to learn new Javascript frameworks.

When not at my computer you might find me golfing, hiking, boating, fishing or somewhere exploring the great outdoors in Colorado.

Experience

Refactored Media

Web Developer

2021 - 2024

As part of a team of four developers, I learned and implemented Gatsby combined with Storyblok CMS so we could offer a modern headless solution to our clients. I was also trained in Kentico CMS, which is built on .Net MVC to assist with maintaining and improving existing client websites. We later migrated to NextJS with Typescript and built a component library to reuse our react components across multiple clients.

Tiny Torch

Web Developer

2016 - 2017

Upgraded sections of the server-rendered website and implemented small AngularJS Single Page App components to manage features on the client-side and reduce page loads, improving the client experience. Refactored nearly every file in the entire site to add Internationalization. Implemented I18N and built the identifiers so the site could be translated into six languages.

Devmountain

Mentor

2016 - 2016

As a mentor, I was assigned a group of students to monitor their learning and help them understand and practice the concepts taught during the lectures. This often involved one-on-one guidance on class assignments and opportunities to teach "brown bag" mini-lessons about additional web concepts not covered during the lectures.
