The first code I ever wrote was as a lighting designer, and that code was a couple of Lua plugins that cut hours out of my showfile creation workflow. My interest is piqued.After a decade in the entertainment industry as a musician, tech, stage manager, musical director, and lighting designer, I found myself in a post-pandemic world with an empty calendar. Looking for a beneficial way to use this unexpected time, I remembered those little plugins I wrote for my software and wanted to know what else I could create. I began teaching myself HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and had an epiphany; coding is simply signal flow. This has become my mantra. Coding works just like the circuits in my guitars, my pedalboard, and the lights I program; it is all relative. This new insight truly solidified when I found the Web Audio API and discovered that I could build a fully functional synthesizer with nothing but a browser and code. I'm all in!I've been passionate about user experience for a long time but not in the traditional sense for a programmer. As a musician, all of my instruments end up modified to varying degrees to accomplish certain tasks with minimal effort, be it control layout, pickup configurations, or wiring mods. Essentially, out-of-the-box solutions may get you close, but I am all about customization and optimization to suit the end user's particular needs.Now, I take my understanding of signal flow and passion for user interfaces to create engaging and creative interactive experiences.I am experienced in web and mobile development. My primary focus is mobile development in Flutter.
