Geek Skills

and web stuff that I nerd out on

My extensive experience managing the life cycles of complex data driven and media rich web projects is why you want me on your front-end development team. I'm the perfect middle person that can talk fonts to your designers and data structures to your engineers while building a clean front-end framework for your application.

Currently, I'm looking to join a team and collaborate on web projects utilizing modern web technologies. Most importantly, I want to keep learning and having fun while doing it. If you're interested in being a part of this journey, let's get in touch.

Web development is something I enjoy doing but it is not my reason for living. Building awesome web experiences is fun but what really drives me through life is reeling left beach breaks, paddling outriggers, and steep deep freshies wherever the snow falls.

    Zion and Barker

    Life likes to throw us curveballs and it threw me a good one. My best friend of 7 years, Zion the Lion, suddenly passed away and two days later I was diagnosed with mono for the first time ever. Once recovered, I decided to leave XYZ Textbooks and wonder the Pacific Northwest for 5 months.
