Design is not just what it looks like and feels like.
Design is how it works.

Building state-of-the-art, easy to use, user-friendly websites and applications is my passion. I developed an appreciation for programming when I took my first HTML class in high school. From then on, it was about fiddling with any kind of website or application I could get my hands on. My excitement for emerging technologies has always driven me to evolve my skillset.
I also have a dedication to proper project management, along with my focus on front-end development. Technology is always experimental. Having a strategy and direction is vital to keeping morale within a team while wowing the end user with the quality of the product you build.

The plan of action is always key in any phase of a project. Even as a FE Developer I like to be involved in all aspects, to have an understanding of the immediate goals versus the overall goals of the project.
Strategy and UX go hand in hand. Even though my main focus is programming, it is valuable to give a technical aspect for UX and visual designers. This process helps make a fluid transition throughout the project and helps the developers build a visual appearance for the product.
I have always enjoyed building and molding the shape of a website or an app to be visually appealing..."the wow factor". However, data processing is a vital part of any front-to-back production site or app. Working closely with engineers helps to set up a fully immersed CMS that a client can feel hands-on and able to control the flow of information.
