About

Myself

I’ve been crafting my skills in the art of web development for over 7 years. As a self-taught software developer, I believe I display the hard work and passion that is required to turn a hobby into a career that I love.


As someone who has worked remotely for 6+ years, I have what it takes to work in any environment thrown at me and quickly adapt. Working remotely requires someone to be able to work alone as well as in a team environment. It also requires them to be a great communicator, disciplined, trustworthy, self-motivated and goal-oriented even when nobody is watching.


If I'm not sitting in front of my computer, you can catch me enjoying every second that I spend with my two children and wife, hanging out with my dogs at the park, or playing basketball/video games with my friends.
