Hi,
I'm a developer and designer living in Tulsa. In my work I operate on a principle that functionally useful things should look as good as they work, and that good looking things should be entirely functional.
Interfaces, Interfaces, & Interfaces
Currently I'm building SPA and SSR sites with React, Angular, React Native, Vue, Preact, HTMX, and continuing to expand the tools I work with. I'm not sure I'm really tied to a specific framework or stack currently, honing the skill of picking the appropriate stack for the job seems most important rather than being locked into a specific framework.
Fluent in Animation
It's sort of a niche skill, but when applicable and useful it's quite valuable. Also very fun to work on. Be it complex css transforms, detailed SVGs changing state, or producing video designed to be embedded on sites. I've even produced motion graphics for advertisement.
Physical Copies also Available
Outside of websites and other digital media, I have time designing and producing print media. I've used Photoshop since version 7.0 and it has a fond place in my heart. Many designers in this field use vector applications like Illustrator but I found that being able to play with complex rasterized textures first, and vector shapes as a secondary priority allowed for interesting designs when it came to processes like screenprinting. It also honed my skills in digital asset preparation. You might be surpised at how many fuzzy images on high DPI screens go unnoticed through review in to production.
Sometimes Full Stack
I've managed sites, servers, databases, and backend code professionally, at a peak of about 30 website servers for an agency. (Usually Ubuntu, MySQL, and PHP) Visiting this world from time to time is fun and good infrastructure is rewarding to architect.
Intelligence alongside AI
AI is fantastic for gathering and interpereting large amounts of information. I brought a client's site from 20 second page load times down to 1 second loads by using AI to generate tests and rewrite database queries.
