I am a Web Application Developer in Tampa, Florida (by way of Southern California) who has been lucky enough to gain diverse experience, learn from great mentors and find rewarding work over the last 11 years. Today I am on the WRECKINGBALL team, a digital marketing group with some great clients. I also work with some fantastic partners on proprietary software-as-service products.
Fortunately, my diverse experience allows me to keep complex projects simple and see the whole picture without losing track of the details. I love formulating a concept, executing the plan and evaluating and adjusting to ensure success. I thirst for feedback and demand personal growth. I strive to be aware of my weaknesses and improve daily. I most enjoy helping others achieve their full potential, as it also helps me reach my own.
This Web site exists so I can share my experiences in hopes of helping you. If I can help you reach your goals, please, let me know.
Yesterday I presented "Give your JavaScript some Backbone" at the Central Florida Web Developers User Group in Tampa, Florida. If you are interested in seeing what you missed you can access the recording, download the slides and get the code. The code is heavily commented (please ignore my spelling errors) so you should be able to take a self-guided tour as you learn how Backbone can work for you.
October, 2010 I began a search for a JavaScript framework to provide a conventional structure to my applications. After spending hours (and hours) with JavaScriptMVC, PureMC, KnockOutJS, Sprote Core and even Google’s Web Toolkit nothing felt quite right. I setteled with Ben Naddel’s corMVC mainly because his code reminded me of the framework I would have written if I rolled my own. In fact, I even asked Ben to get corMVC up on GitHub so I could start playing with it and molding it to my needs. But, then I got some Backbone.
You can send me email or work with me for digital marketing, web design and application development.
