I am a full-stack developer with over 20 years of experience in software engineering and building applications and launching businesses. I'm a fast learner -- if I'm interested in what I'm learning :-)I enjoy finding ways to improve existing products, and create solutions such as plugins, integrations and old fashioned hacks to enhance existing products.I began web development in high school. I made a 'Facebook' before such a thing existed for my classmates. I began building my own content management system before Wordpress and other systems seemed to have an adaptable UI/UX experience for management of websites.I began my career by unenrolling from Austin Community College, where I had planned to take my basics before transferring into the University of Texas in Austin. I had been providing web development services for a handful of clients to pay for college and decided to partner with one of my clients and start a web hosting and development company, selling websites built on my content management system.In my career as a web developer, I have built over 100 websites to help small business, ministries, musicians, apartment management companies and home builders to market their products and services. I developed a Content Mangement System to manage content and provide a backend to manage apartment and home listings and syndicate them through ILS services.I began building a photography company catering to Multi-Family and Home Builders. As this grew and proved to be more scalable than being a web developer for hire, I built a team and focused my development skills on the promotion of this business. Subsequently, I began offering Matterport services as one of the first providers in Texas. Applying my software engineering skills to this platform, I began creating solutions for other Matterport users and ultimately was hired by Matterport to work with their developers.
