Chicagoland based web developer who loves to solve problems and build things; especially with software! I've always had an interest in tech, but was inspired to take coding seriously as a career through my love of reading when I stumbled across the possibility in a book I picked up. In my free time, I enjoy distance running/biking, playing sports (real and fantasy), listening to nerdy podcasts about tech and economics, and taking my wild dog to the park.
I started my professional career as web developer using PHP, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, and have used Go and Elixir in my current role. I'm language agnostic, and love picking up new languages using Object Oriented Programming principles! My latest (personal) project is a movie app that allows users to search for films they just watched and rate them. My friends actively use the site and it is deployed on Gigalixir. I used the Phoenix framework with Elixir for the backend (MVC design pattern) and JavaScript, HTML, and CSS to make it look pretty. I have also built an insurance app that uses PHP to take data from a CSV file, make some calculations and convert it to JSON. Scrolldown to my portfolio to see all of my projects and my Github .

Biographies of historical figures always interest me from Benjamin Franklin to Steve Jobs (Walter Isaacson writes a mean bio). Being a tech nerd, I was interested to hear that J.C.R Licklider is the true visionary of the personal computer in Mitchell Waldrop's "The Dream Machine" . But this is only the beginning of the list.
GoodreadsBelow is more about what I have built in the past and what I'm building. Software development is my passion.
My movie app that allows the user to sign up for an account and rate movies. My friends actively use the app to rate movies they are watching and view other's ratings. I used the Phoenix Elixir MVC framework to integrate the third party API, and used minimalist JavaScript, HTML and CSS for the front end. This was deployed to Gigalixir and uses a Postgres database.

Built an Insurance App to demonstrate my ability in PHP. The app takes in a CSV file, converts the data to PHP and outputs a JSON file. How to run and output a new file and how to run the tests can be found in the README.
