Summary

I'm a senior full-stack developer and former startup founder with a focus on front end technologies like web components, reactive design, and modern API development.

In my last role, I owned all of the company's customer-facing and internal web applications, which I architected and developed using JavaScript, Typescript, and custom reactive web components. Along with my art, design, and backend developer colleagues, I shipped the first digital game asset trading marketplace for the web. This was a complex, cross-platform, secure real money application serving a global, multilanguage player base on numerous web and desktop devices with multiple SSO support and 6 global deployment environments.

Just prior to joining Rumble, I created a new card game called Hexxed, for both in-person and online play. The online version is fully multiplayer and built with Typescript and custom web components in Lit. In 2018, I founded a software startup based on an invention of mine, a fact-checking and research tool. While we were able to release an MVP SaaS application and an SDK, the product didn't acquire enough customers or funding to be sustained beyond 3 years.

For more than 25 years, I ran an independent software development firm. In that capacity, I worked with over 500 SMB and enterprise clients to understand their requirements, design custom interfaces and code, and deliver and support custom web applications in JS/TS and a variety of frameworks and backends.

I was originally trained as a mainframe programmer at IBM in the 1990's, where I learned techniques for improving software quality and accurately diagnosing bugs. Over the course of my career, I've also filed three US patents, the first for a method of connecting APIs to UIs, and the most recent for the card game, Hexxed.

I'd be honored if you visit my portfolio site at Contact which contains many examples of my work. I look forward to meeting you and learning about your projects, too!

Expectations

I'd like help improve the standard of user interfaces for all kinds of software, bringing my experience in game development, API/UI transformations, and GPT and RAG integrations into the future of how we interact with computers.
