When I think of my career, I generally think of myself as a Web Developer. This stems from the way I think of the term developer. I fundamentally think of developers as people who solve problems and understand there are a variety of ways to implement a given solution. In technical terms I have more experience implementing Front-End solutions as opposed to Back-End ones, but I would say I am comfortable working in both areas. My language preference in personal projects is Javascript. I would be comfortable calling myself a Full-Stack Developer. Eventually, I'd like to use my knowledge in entrepreneurial endeavors.

A huge portion of my life growing up was dedicated to the Internet via online video games so I've always appreciated the Internet. As I've gotten older I've found myself playing far fewer online games now, but continuing to have the same appreciation for the way it's connected me to friends and strangers with mutual interests. The Internet's importance stems beyond just social uses though. Amazon, for example, has revolutionized the way we consume goods via an online sales portal. Other companies like Uber and Lyft using modern web applications to connect their users to transportation providers. Witnessing these types of business developments makes me excited for the future of Web Development and how the Internet will get bundled into the next innovation.

I run(ran it has stagnated and exists but the primary domain is nolonger active) an opensource organization called Devvit that acts as a place where developers can collaborate and learn together while building software that anyone can make use of in their own projects. You can see our Github here.

You can see a list of projects I've worked on before below. However the project I'm most proud of is the KF2 Calculator. It's built with Vue.js and functions as a modern single page application. It's seen continual usage by the community it was made for several years.

Recently I've spent some time building smaller projects to just try and get some more time with basic JS and the tools that come standard with JS.
