Intro
I started software development when I was a kid by making my own video games in GW-BASIC. During university years I spent most of my time studying liberal arts before I went on to work in social services for a number of years. Once student loan payments started becoming due I went back into software development and have not regretted it.
Most of my technical endeavors have been based in dotnet technologies with csharp being my favorite language but I'm proficient in countless others. My experiences cover application development, web, database, API services in the fields of finance, healthcare, and product development. Feel free to check out my work. I'm currently working on some SEO projects for small businesses and local artists.

About
Software Engineer
Creating code has been a passion for most of my life. I've been doing full-stack development for the past few years but am reconsidering my focus. I own a small pro-bono business that allows me to experiment and maintain my base skills when time permits. I'm currently working on some SEO projects but will be open to new opportunities soon.
PADI certified, recreational diving is where I can live life to it's fullest and fully engage in my environment. I'm interested in coral reef restoration, cleanup projects, fish husbandry, software related to ocean topography and simulator including the creation and testing of underwater devices interacting with data and cloud services.
Musician
I've played the saxophone since it was taller than I was. I play local venues and give lessons. When I compose, I often utilize MIDI devices and am interested in projects to improve MIDI technology ...more to come later... until then, track me here @ thedefibs.net !
