What I do

Design + Development

I am currently expanding my skillset to explicitly include front-end web development. Having completed the fundamental HTML and CSS with JavaScript modules I am moving into React-based modules.

Documentation

From writing user manuals to training courses to internal technical documentation, I have experience at several levels of documentation writing. This experiences serves me well during the requirements gathering stages and into the project management process as we pursue agile development.

UX

Recent courses have included beginning and intermediate UX Research concepts. I have been the design lead on two major applications over the last 5 years. Both projects leverage a combination of front-end UI capturing data that is fed into databases which is then acted upon by a series of automated workflows.

Who I Am

Designer & developer based out of Atlanta

I started my computer-based career by sitting down to read the DOS manual, then tried out all the commands I could on my little 386 home PC running DOS 5.0. Working as a mortgage loan processor I was fortunate to ride the wave forward as the mortgage industry shifted from typewriters and multi-carbon forms to PC-based mortgage software by grabbing a job at an up and coming mortgage software company.

I've been at home on computers ever since. Various specializations have given me exposure to everything from writing install programs, handling software translation projects, managing code repos and build automation, writing user manuals, to various forms of automation workflows and scripts. Today I'm building on by leveraging this range of experience as I tackle front end web development.

When I'm not coding, you might find me singing Broadway show tunes, visiting any Disney park, listening to a range of music from EDM to Yes, reading sci-fi and fantasy, tracking the latest Marvel movies, or planning my next cruise vacation.
