Past

Growing up in South Carolina I studied to pursue a career in engineering. After attending Virginia Tech for a few semesters I became restless, and as John Muir said, "The Mountains are calling and I must go." I left Virginia and moved to a little ski town called Steamboat Springs, Colorado. There, my love for the outdoors was satisfied and I found a job that complimented my aptitudes. I became a Ski Lift Mechanic. After a great run living in the mountains, my wife and I moved to Portland, OR to experience the city life. Working a few different manufacturing jobs I needed something more challenging, it was time for a career change. I enrolled in Thinkful's Engineering Immersion to become a software developer. I gained the skills to do what I love, Build and Maintain. Only this time the tools and materials are computers and programming languages instead of wrenches and steel. All it takes is time, logic, and creativity, the possibilities are endless.

Present

As a Software Engineer at Compu-Tech-Inc. I get to help streamline data flow of fruit from the farm to your local grocery store. I am currently developing web applications for users to track fruit quality, warehouse inventory, and managing sales. I enjoy building pleasing ux/ui for users, performant backend and an optimal database.

Future

Working with you and your team! Building dynamic websites and apps!

My Recent Projects

Game-A-Tron

Game-A-Tron is a web application that helps people to gamify their lives. Players can create and play games. It was a collaborative project with four of us. This app was built in 3 weeks.

My Part:

I brought the app concept to the table. I built many front-end components and modified the back end to get proper responses from fetch requests.

Collaborators:

Sean Krummel, Randy Cole, Scott Murdisto

DothraKit

With the final season of GOT coming out it's time to brush up on your Dothraki phrases! DothraKIT uses a spaced repetition algorithm to ensure you are learning efficiently. The rules are simple: learn the word, get it right, you live. Or else...well, best not to get on Khal's bad side. You can log in with username: Sammy, password: 0123456789. This app was built in a week.

My Part:

With just one partner on this project, we shared many of the responsibilities.
