I Work at the Intersection of
Design & Development

I have enterprise, independent, start-up, and agency experience crafting mobile and web applications large and small. My first app, StatusBar+, was launched when I was in high school. Since then, I have personally shipped more than a dozen Android apps used by over a million people. While I no longer actively develop for Android, I continue to build high-traffic websites and architected secure, highly-available cloud services.

Process

  1. Mockup of Noyze App
  2. Source code of Noyze App
  3. Photo of Noyze App

Process: identify a problem ⟶ build empathy ⟶ sketch ⟶ prototype ⟶ develop ⟶ test ⟶ scale ⟶ launch and support ⟶ learn from mistakes.

Work

Regardless of scale, I strive to implement solutions that set new standards and redefine what is possible. Below is a sample of my work.

More coming soon

I have made many more things, but am told by lawyers not to show them publically. In their place, here is a list of companies and organizations I have worked with. If you would like to learn more, let's get in touch.

Skills

I architect secure and scalable solutions within the constraints of inherited architecture. These are some of the tools, technologies, and services I have used in the process.

I have also worked with Python, SQL, PHP, Golang, Elixir, Kotlin, AEM, Objective-C, C#, and R.
