That's me! I've unwound more spaghetti messes of code than a little bit. I can translate real world ideas into their tech-verse versions. From financial service to order delivery robots I've programmed it all!

I'm a web developer and systems administrator with nearly 20 years of experience in programming and database management under my belt. I'm proficient in a diversity of languages including PHP, Java, Javascript, HTML, and CSS. I'm accomplished in producing and maintaining applications from simple websites and blogs to robust data management solutions.

I like to spend my leisure time in the garden with my two beautiful daughters, splunking through caves, camping in the woods or floating down the river. I'm always learning new technologies and I am currently studying AI and machine learning. Yes for fun!

A primary focus of my college education was branding, the roots of understanding audience needs, expectations, and interactions with company products. I gained practical experience first with front end designs for online shops, blogs, and portfolios.  In the last five years, I've worked hands-on with users to create highly tailored UI designs for inventory management and production analytics including smart menus, accessibility options, intuitive searching, and automated data entry grooming.

I have over ten years of experience in developing and managing databases and business logic. I've created relational and non-relational data management solutions from scratch as well as overhauled existing data systems. I have Microsoft Professional Certificates in SQL Server Operations and SQL Server Data Security and hands-on experience will all areas of business logic management. 

I have experience in every stage of project lifecycles from project planning to deployment maintenance. I 've had the pleasure of building and maintaining websites, computers, networks, and databases for many clients including Rutgers University, the Waldorf Schools, and the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego.  Beyond my technical skills, I have over five years of experience working fully remotely both autonomously and with team members, agile practices and SCRUM. YUM-YUM!  

In the last seven years I built and maintained a complete inventory management system responsible for combining the multiple facets of product assembly at different warehouse locations to provide an accessible overview of production from raw materials to completed orders for over 3000 different products. 

 I designed intuitive features including customizable views, reports, alerts, search capabilities, and calculators that more than doubled user productivity. I eliminated redundant data entry tasks, such as label printing and unit conversions using automation. I managed the communication pipelines between the new database and the existing online store back-end allowing for real-time monitoring of inventory.
