About Me

Along my journey from the young boy obsessed with how everything works, to the engineer that brings ideas to life with code ā€“ I have refined three great passions ā€“ learning, problem solving, and creating. I use these three passions every day that Iā€™m writing code, making coding one of my most enjoyable and fulfilling activities.

Recent Projects

Ana's Limos Logo

Ana’s Limousines

This project was for a friend of mine. His business creates websites for local businesses, and he had more work than developers – so I helped him out with this website. The old website was about nine years old, and was not mobile friendly. I was given a lot of leeway on this project design, so I designed a brighter site, a new logo, and a homepage that markets their service. They would have been happy with just a mobile friendly site with their information and a way to make a reservations, but I couldn’t stop the marketer in me, and I added lots of happy people in limousines.
This site is in final review with the client, but you can view the staging site at the address below.
Nonprofix Logo

Nonprofix

This project was actually a startup that I co-founded with a business partner. I created a huge WordPress plugin for nonprofits, that was designed to help them consolidate the following online abilities on their website:
  • Accept donations and organize donor data.
  • Create Peer-to-Peer campaigns.
  • Create events with event ticket purchase pages.
  • Vet volunteers and organize volunteer data.
  • Run reports and prospect individuals for future donations.

Guayabo Animal Rescue Logo

Guayabo Animal Rescue

This project was for a new nonprofit organization operated by an associate of mine in Costa Rica. The main emphasis for this design was content, but they did want an “earthy” tone, and bright theme to highlight the content. This organization helps the local community, and also helps local animals find a new home.
This site uses the Nonprofix plugin to organize and collect their donor data, and has some custom capabilities built into the theme to display animals for adoption or sponsorship.
Florida Leaders In Lifesaving Logo

Florida Leaders in Lifesaving

This project was for a new organization created by the Jacksonville Humane Society. The theme was designed around the JHS color palette and included a new logo. The goal was to create a website that would highlight Florida animal welfare organizations.
This website is continually updated by the organization, but maintains most of the original layout and design.
