I've been fascinated with creating things since childhood and once I got my hands on my first computer I started teaching myself computer programming and just ran with it. My career, passion, and past-time is designing and implementing smart software, but since I became a father of two amazing little boys, they are the light of my life and the reason my working hours have shrunken significantly.
My expertise is with all aspects of Web software development with heavy emphasis on both back-end to front-end, usually from scratch.
In the past I would sometimes write about interesting software experiences in my coding log. You may also find useful the jQuery plugins I have written.
I implemented using VueJS for Hyperloop-One an offline micro-site to be run with specific hardware projecting onto an 80"x60" tabletop surface turned into a touch-interactive interface.
