Contact MeExperience:
I have been building websites since 2020, but have not formally worked as a web-developer due to being busy with my active duty Navy career. I taught myself web-development due to COVID and my command at the time needing to accomodate remote work. I have built various applications with Node, Express, React, MongoDB, Electron, and most recently SvelteKit. Most projects were related to things needed for work at the time. Various items are highlighted below under projects, or on my GitHub. Feel free to contact me here with any questions.

About me:
We live in a world of technology overload. We have forgotten the point of innovation. Technology isn't just a means of producing more all of the time. It was supposed to free up time to focus on the most important things! Everywhere I look, people are buried in devices, lonely, and overworked, missing the world around them. Our best work is done when we are working towards things we believe in and for people we care about. Technology should connect, inspire, and improve lives, not isolate and drain people. Used properly, it produces better, not just more.
Years of leading young people has taught me that leadership is example. Nothing you say will mean more than what you do. Treat people as though you expect them to be impressive and you will be impressed by them. Technology and teamwork are the keys to a better future.
