I work closely with small- to medium-sized businesses to develop a long-term roadmap for implementing or updating technologies related to their operations.

This includes marketing websites, apps, content marketing strategies, digital marketing initiatives, application development, conversion rate optimization, and more.

Computer Programmer

I've worked with numerous enterprise-level SAAS companies as a front-end developer and UX engineer creating seamless user workflows. The bulk of my near-decade of experience with JavaScript has been with consuming data via REST APIs and creating mechanisms by which users can interact with the product/s intuitively.

Along with my years building out extensive dashboard-type products for large companies, I've spent 6+ years as a freelance developer creating a plethora of projects with HTML and CSS, ranging from board games and static sites to complex calculators and interactive ad-builders.

I've used React as the foundation for two enterprise-level applications as well as for many of my smaller, private projects. I've got experience with traditional React data flow as well as leveraging Redux for more explicit data management.
