Current Positions
Web Developer
For Hire - Your Project or Organization
If your company is looking for a disciplined developer with operations and support experience, I would like to hear from you. I was first introduced to the Internet in 1993 and created my first Website in 1994. Since that time, I have worked with many frameworks, libraries, CMS's, and stacks. To date the highest position one of my sites achieved in a Google search was 2 of 340,000,000.
The Open Source Community
In early 2016, I began devoting some time to my favorite open source projects on GitHub. I've had pull request accepted for some amazing projects including Kubernetes and Polymer Elements - App Layout. Additionally, many of my own projects are shared on GitHub under MIT license.
IT Manager
For Hire - Your Project or Organization
Mismanaged IT will damage every part of the business it touches. Together, we can develop and execute a clear strategy for IT service management with clearly measurable performance results.
Republic First Management & Republic Equity - (January 2013 - Current) Winter Park, FL
Over the past 4 years I’ve had the opportunity to help turn things around for faltering businesses. I stepped into businesses with deferred maintenance and no support, which lead them down a path of crisis-driven piecemeal spending. For 15 offices across 4 states, I’ve implemented a basic triage of service plans and tracked their success. Most importantly, I’ve had the opportunity to build some great professional relationships.
Community Involvement
Tech & Dev
I'm proud to be part of Orlando's close knit community of tech professionals and developers. You can regularly find me attending many local developer and tech Meetups including:
- Orlando Devs
- University Tech
- Agile Orlando and Agile Alliance Member
- Front End Orlando
- Orlando Golang
- Orlando JavaScript
Visual Arts
Up until 2010 I devoted several hours a week to my local art community. It was a chance to enjoy fine art with great people. During that time I had the opportunity to serve on the Associates Board at the Maitland Art Center (now the Art & History Center).
