With 14+ years of experience and such a broad range of skills and expertise from technical manager, project management, and creative development, the challenge of creating web applications has always been at the forefront of my career preference.

I’ve created a front-end driven CMS system as-well-as a PHP5 backend framework and REST-API service called Skelleton. Most of my development focuses around the separation of technologies and following web standards as outlined in the w3c to allow for optimal continuous integration and plug-and-play reusable components that take advantage of scalable solutions for high-load/high-volume asynchronous cloud delivery at low overhead. I’ve created many b2b, b2c, SaaS applications, e-commerce systems, real estate sites, investment software, several content management applications, magazine publishing applications, permission based email marketing systems, invoice/billing and business management applications, voting and contest platforms and systems, and several others.

Ring lighting and various gimbals and attachments. I have a strong interest in technology & music.
