Software Developer. Human in Training.
Looking for a developer that can take ideas and turn them into tangible solutions?
Well, you've come to the right place.
Growing up in rural southern Virginia taught me a few things; the most important were hard work and how to be adaptable, but also that I'd rather tell computers what to do instead of pull tobacco. So, I became a software developer with a focus on web technologies. I'm fascinated with multiple disciplines of development and as a result, I've worn a few hats.
Design: There's enough to worry about in the world, using a web application shouldn't add to that list. I believe in and practice clean, simple, and responsive design that is easy to use and engages the user. You want people to come back for more.
Development: I'm a code polygot that specializes in UX driven frontend languages like JavaScript, JQuery, CSS, and HTML, and heavy-lifting backend languages like C#. I'm incredibly curious and learn quickly. I also work with 3rd party integrations like Google Maps, OpenLayers, and Telerik .net controls.
Delivery: Documentation, training, and product support are needed for any application. I've written training manuals, certification tests, given conference talks, and have spent quite a bit of time building positive customer interactions through high level support.
"A very particular capacious set of skills."
Most of my time is spent as an applications developer at Timmons Group. My prior work is mostly proprietary, but I've posted some screenshots and descriptions of the products I've worked on. You can also check out more of my work here.
A web application to view SQL server spatial data, run visual reports, locate customers, use Google Maps directions and address search capabilities, create client specific dynamic search menus, and keep operations running smoothly with features like truck location tracking.
A WinForms application that contains tools to configure Web Console to meet individual client needs. Menu editing, layer editing, and data control are all handled through this application.
A WinForms tool that applies a GeoHash SQL datbase column to help with database performance for queries on a single spatial index and quick proximity search. The tool connects to a database and server, removes any previous spatial indexes, creates the new column, and applies a geohashed column based on the spatial record.
