About Me

My History

"I AM A 24-YEAR-OLD PROGRAMMER, TESTER AND WEB DESIGNER."

For the last four years I have in one capacity or another been working web design. Prior to 2014 I have had smaller forays into HTML and Photoshop going back to 2011 with HTML and 2009 with Photoshop, but in a none professional capacity. Beginning in 2014 I started work with Dreamweaver to do actual web design and in 2015 I began using JavaScript and soon after C#. By 2016 I had my first internship remaking part of the Cascadia College website for the Veterans Community.

In 2015, I also began creating small scale databases in Microsoft Access, later in 2016 I would begin using SQL in MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server. In the last year, I have been applying this knowledge in making databases for ASP.NET both with and without MVC. Most Recently I have also made a Firebase Database as part of a second internship with the City of Lynnwood to make a web application that used the Firebase Database as well as Geolocation in conjunction with ArcGIS maps.

Between these experiences I have gotten the chance to work on several projects both in a team and solo. Through these experiences I have had the chance to cultivate both team and self-management skills.

HTML5

I have a long history of working with HTML starting all the way back in 2011; however, the greater portion of my experience and work using it comes from the last four years. I had a slight break in 2015 where I spent most of my time working on JavaScript and C# programming. In 2016, I came back into it and have been doing much more advanced work with new HTML5 since.

Photoshop

In my history I mention that photoshop is one of the oldest design skills. Outside of knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint I have been using Photoshop since 2009; however, most of my experience using it goes back to 2014. If you want to look at some of that work it is available in the projects section of the site.

JavaScript

I first started using JavaScript in 2015 for basic programs and by early 2016 had started employing it much more in websites. Some of the more major uses I have had for it include creating a calendar for the Cascadia Veterans Benefits website remodel. Most recently I also used it to link Firebase into the City of Lynnwood application. On that same application I used JavaScript in conjunction with that data to generate personal collection pages as well as a scanner that would look for your location and any item listed as being within a certain away. If you were close enough to one of the listed geolocations it would automatically scan that item into your collection and auto generate it in the collection page.

C#

Like JavaScript I have been programming in C# since 2015, Mostly from fall onward. I have used it to create several small programs as well as later implementing it into ASP.NET web applications as well as Unity projects and several other projects.

Why Choose Me?

Range of Skills

As you can tell from looking at the list of skills bellow my resume on the site, as well as my resume itself, I have an extensive set of skills that I have learned over the last 4 - 5 years. Due to my skills in these situations I can be useful in both design, programming and testing positions. I am capable of creating graphics for websites as well as programming that website to perform important functions, or even designing and creating a database that that website uses.

Years of Experience

Totaled up I have 3 years of experince working on programming websites. I have been programming using C# and JavaScript for 2 years and I have a year of experince designing and creating SQL Databases. Aside from those experiences I have experience as a contractor for VOLT working at VMC as a Hardware and Software QA Tester for the over 2 years and more recently with Parker Staffing for Nintendo of America as a Debug Tester. I have also worked on 2 internships, one of which went on to become a short term contract as a Lead Application Designer, and multiple other projects on a variety of programming languages and frameworks.

Leader and Team Player

I have had many chances to work in teams as well as on my own creating websites, programs and databases. Over these projects I have also gained experience managing small scale projects, as well as learning skills that allow me to be productive and constantly thinking of work to do or ways to improve what is already there. If people need someone to stand up and keep track of a project or communicate with the client I can do that, and at the same time I can work as a team player working towards the common goals of the project or even doing extra work.
