I was introduced to coding while earning a degree in visual communications. The first time I saw my code become reality in a browser, I knew the path I wanted to take, and I changed majors. The more I learned about the problem-solving aspect of coding, the happier I was about my decision. I'm still passionate about design, but software development fascinates me because I love to be challenged, solve problems, and build things, and coding allows me to build just about anything I can imagine.

Projects
The Maintenance Log is an app for anyone who owns anything that requires maintenance or repairs. Users can create a list of items organized by category. They can store details, notes, model numbers, and repair manuals for the items, and log all of the maintenance and repairs performed on the items. Users can access maintenance details on one item or all items. User authentication and persistent storage allow multiple users to store, create, read, edit, and delete their lists of items, and their maintenance lists.
- Built with React, JSX, JSON-Server, and CSS
MowPro is a lawn care management application that allows users to create, read, update, and delete a list of customers, services provided, and jobs performed. It also affords users the ability to upload an image of the job site, see a dynamically generated map of the job site, and create pdf invoices and receipts for the customers, once the job is completed. Additionally, users can keep records of all jobs and sort them by customers who owe and customers who have paid. There is also a search feature that permits users to search all job records by customer name, address, email, phone number, service name, service description, and job notes. I owned and operated a lawn and landscape business for 8 years. One great, yet frustrating aspect of it was getting jobs while working on jobs. When people inquired about services, I had to stop working, walk to my truck, find a piece of paper and a pen, take notes and hope I didn’t lose them before getting back home. I would have absolutely loved to have had this app in my pocket during that time
- Built using .Net Core, Entity and Identity Framework, LINQ, JavaScript, JQuery, HTML, Bootstrap 4, CSS, and SQL server
Welcome to Nashville is an itinerary builder application that allows users to make an itinerary of things to do on a day trip to Nashville. Users can select parks, restaurants, and concerts to see and print the results to take with them. This was a team project I built with Brian Wilson and Bennett Foster. I was individually responsible for the design, and the restaurant module which collected user input, leveraged JSON-Server to ping an external API, displayed search results in the DOM and saved the user's choices.
- Built with HTML, JavaScript, JSON-Server, CSS, and external APIs
The Daily Journal was an ongoing project during the front-end course at Nashville Software School. Every new concept learned was implemented in the journal. It was a rewarding project because I actually used the journal. On the days I was feeling defeated, I reflected on all that I had learned in a very short time, and that made me feel better.
- Built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, modules, objects, functions, arrays, HTTP-server, NPM, and JSON server.
Interests
Although I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements in the web development world, I have many other interests.
Apart from being a web developer, I love all things outdoors. I enjoy biking, hiking, camping, and working in my yard. I also enjoy cooking tasty vegan meals, and you can often find me with a power tool in each hand, elbow deep in DIY remodel projects.
