I have over twenty-four years of experience as a Senior Level Full Stack Developer. During my career, I have gained extensive experience working with both front and back end solutions, often focused on bridging the two together. My education and work experience has focused on building web applications, graphics art design, PC maintenance, hardware, server and database administration. I've contracted various positions throughout the years which has given me great versatility when working in both environments.
Facts
- I'm a former NASA contractor and Recipient of the 2014 Best of KSC (Kennedy Space Center) Software Award in recognition of the Ground Hardware Management application that I coded and developed.
- I previously had an Agency Special Background Investigation and held TOP SECRET (TS) / Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) Clearance while working at US Department of State. Last held Clearance was up for re-investigation September 2015. I'm experienced to exercise the upmost discretion in the handling of Sensitive and/or personally Identifiable Information (PII).
Current Projects
Showcasing experience in graphics, UI design, and back-end development can be challenging when much of my work is not publicly accessible, particularly when it involves internal sites and/or government-related projects requiring some form of security clearance. Therefore, I am presenting the projects below to demonstrate my front-end development skills. Please note that these projects are currently under active development. As a result, some features may be absent or not fully functional at this time, and you may encounter placeholder content. Your understanding and patience are greatly appreciated as I continue to work on and refine these projects to completion.
Bonehead Wear is an upscale luxury brand specializing in high-quality headwear that is both unique and edgy. As the original founder and creator of this company, I take pride in designing products that stand out in the market. Often times, these products are shipped internationally and cater to celebrities for stage wear. This venture not only serves as my creative outlet but also complements my skills as a web developer and designer, allowing me to showcase my creativity and innovation.
Nearly every aspect of Bonehead Wear, from conceptualization to the creation of graphics, video content, photography for photo shoots, and physical product designs, is entirely my own work. My wife assists with product replication and occasionally contributes graphic T-shirt and patch designs. Together, our hands craft these creations. This brand demonstrates my ability to effectively brand, market, and create distinctive products. Through Bonehead Wear, I highlight my multifaceted talents and ability to use my transferable skills in graphics and design to create exceptional and original products, such as graphic leather patches and tees, while successfully using my creative tech skills to build a brand and an online presence.
