About Myself
I am a HTML5 web and mobile developer and been in the development world since 1999. My exclusive focus is taking a design and realizing the concept put forth by the designer. Slicing and dicing then using HTML5 technology I create a vibrant and active website which is viewable on the web or mobile device. Responsiveness is everything...
I consider myself to be an integrator, specializing in taking design and integrating it with the code, implementing it into whatever platform I am given whether it is applications such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal or a custom coded application. I do code and customize applications as needed, but I do not believe in reinventing the wheel on every project so I will use what is available in the Open Source community as needed. I am a HTML5 developer and lately have focused my studies on developing Mobile apps using HTML5, which allows for the apps to work on iPhone and Android. If you need a front-end developer to get your design implemented rapidly then perhaps I can be of service to your company.
I have recently stopped working with Mobiquity Inc, where I was employed for the last 2 years. I went through their OnRamp program which brought me up to speed on Angular development, the Agile Process, and many tools which I’d never used before..that would include the Mac OSX. I have worked on mobile apps for clients of Mobiquity Inc including Liberty Mutual (CarZen) and CVS (Caremark).
For the last year and a half I took on responsibilities for the corporate website which at the time was built with Drupal and the intranet which is based on WordPress. I helped with the transition to HubSpot and was the lead developer on the team creating the new face for the company.

I am completely self-taught in the field of web development, mostly on the job but I'm always learning new web technologies. I am a self-learner, self-starter, self-motivated individual embracing the web and what the internet brings to us.
I started out in 1999 as an HTML coder at Domanet, Inc. a web design company in Ft. Lauderdale, FL and while there enhanced my skills by learning programming languages such as ColdFusion and Perl. After a couple years I was head-hunted to an Internet startup Entry Form, Inc. in Boca Raton, FL. for my ColdFusion skills. Entry Form failed after 9-11 due to lack of investors. I floated for a few years doing contract work and eventually began work with Technician Bureau in Texas as a contractor and became an employee when we merged with another company later to be named Field Solutions. Here I honed my skills with PHP and JavaScript. I then relocated to Miami, Florida after a year, when my wife left the U.S. Army, for a job with Oxidev Interactive as a PHP developer primarily as a front-end coder and working with frameworks such as Joomla and Expression Engine. I have since relocated to Melbourne, FL where I worked as a contractor for Oxidev Interactive and Field Solutions when they needed me. Now the majority of my work is freelance working for multiple design firms.
