About Me Projects

Let's build something, together.

Do you have a website, application, or online store you would like built or maintained?

If you do, I'm sure I can help!


Things I like:

Design:

I really like it when things build themselves. With the use of modern tools for front-end development they can.

Code:

The entire internet is built with PHP. For all the flack it gets, modern PHP frameworks are more than capable for the vast majority of projects.

Tools:

What did we even do before version control and deployment strategies? It was like, the dark ages.

  • HTML5/CSS3
  • Linux Server administration

A Magento build in which the previous developer ignored the frontend compilation tools. This required reverse engineering the changes made to the theme to use these tools correctly. I was able to give the homepage a facelift, and engineered a deployment strategy.
