"Hello World!"
A loud but adorable little me was born into the world, ready to take on challanges and create memorable experiences.
August 2003
Solid Snake Designs Programming Moderator
At 13, I was first bit by the code bug when I setup a own online community forum through Proboards, and I wanted it to look cool! Once the ball started rolling, I found myself volunteering my nights at Solid Snake Designs (the premier customization site at the time) as a moderator of the Programming boards, helping others modify and modernize their own forums. It was here that I took the first steps down the long path of software development.

Internship at Novacoast Inc.
My local highschool hosted a job fair where I was introduced to Novacoast Inc., a local product and services company. After winning an iPod shuffle for who ever asked the most estute questions, I asked if they had any positions open. A little over a month of stepping into the real world, it was official, I am a programmer now.

The Freelance Market
After having done some small projects for some family members, I opted to get a taste of this lucritive "freelance market" I kept hearing about. Trying my hand, I started small by first offering a trade to Mesa Communications, a local phone supplier outlet: A free phone upgrade and custom cover for a website. Unexpectedly though, this turned into a month log gig of actually evaluating their architecture and publishing setup and offering guidance on some tools as well as building a new layout to publish in through their PHP based CMS.
November 2007 - 2012
Novacoast Inc.
While taking a business communications class in collage, I was met with a project that required opening a dialog with a professional and asking them some question. Seeing this as an opportunity, I reopened communications with Adam Gray, the CEO of Novacoast, and after which took a moment to inquire about any open positions. From here, I spent the next 5+ years working on internal, contracted and enterprise systems, and learning how to apply what I learned in collage to real life situations. It was here that I learned most of what I know in both enterprise level software development and fostering a caring, supportive, and open culture in the office.

Ontraport
A fast growing upstart, the word about Ontraport had permeated Santa Barbara for a while. Knowing I needed to get a taste of this place, I jumped on ship for the wild ride of a company turning from small to medium size. Being apart of this transition was invaluable to me. There was so much process that is inherently under the hood that it was a huge eye opener and learning experience to see how those pitfalls were identified, researched and then patched with the most tried and true of conventions (with a dash of customization as any self respecting brand would do).

Your Hands-on, Multi-Tier Software Developer
Professional and Creative
Once I had gone through the growing pains and childish excitment of helping grow the TumbleCloud startup; having witnessed and be integral in improvements of the midium size company of Ontraport; all the while having my base foundation gained from my experience with a multi national larger company Novacoast; I found that I had traversed a enough ground to be able to fit into almost any niche required with experience that applies to all levels of company size and growth period.
So, I decided to go solo! And here I am now, excited and ready. Each project has been an amazing experience, which both the client and myself got to take something positive away. Now I also get to venture into unkown territories that weren't available to me me before, and broaden my knowledge sphere each time.

Quiz Now And Then is a project I started to help keep myself sharp! It's purpose is simple: Make quiz questions that will be randomly sent to you during a specified time. Therefor the interface is equally simple, but information you can get out of it is exponential. It's still under construction, but I'm rather proud of it.

ONTRAPalooza Mobile App
Hosting a conference the right way.
ONTRAPalooza is an annaul conference held by Ontraport, the premeir Business Automation Software supplier for small to mid size businesses. This conference offers software and business guidance ass well as networking opportunities to entreprenuers from a vast selection of specialties.
To lead the way, the ONTRAPalooza app was created to exemplify the attention to detail that is required for success. By providing a readily accessible mobile app, attendees feel more comfortable navigating the chaos and planning their time wisely.
Within the app, attendees can create an account, browse the list of events scheduled, get details on speakers and hosts alike, see recommended places to eat and drink, check the FAQ, and even create their own personalized schedules. Needless to say, this became an invaluable tool for both Ontraport and their conference attendees and who were often also their customers.
My Role
Workflow and Design
This project was luckily small enough where it was feasible to outline the project scope and UX prior to even opening an IDE. Once the mockups gained acceptence, it was full steam ahead.
Peripheral CMS
The crux of this application was the ability for the client to manage their content in Sched, a third party Content Management System. This gave the client the freedom to produce and curate content independently and in parallel with development, unimpeded by whatever state the development stack was in. This strategy alone almost halved the normal time it takes to get a beta out from a wireframe-to-deploy timeframe perspective. The CMS API was then leveraged to asychronously fetch dynamic content in real time.
Mockup Example
Native? No problem!
Since this ONTRAPalooza was intended for the mobile platform only, specifically iOS and Android, the need for typical dicotimized aesthetic and architectual setup was unnecessary. Instead a mobile targetted framework named Onsen UI utilized for implenting a ubiquitous native feel with less code and a minimilistic approach ensured the application was snappy, even with hotel wifi
Development Cycle
Mockups were generated by the clients rockstar design team and assets were handed off only after passing a rigerous, multi-tier UX approval process. From there, responsive HTML blocks were built to comfortably fit the same 25+ different mobile device aspect ratios and screen sizes likely to be on site.

Professional and awesomly weird photography.
Showcase Options
Crowded Coffin was designed with simplicity as the primary goal, to allow the widest breadth and visual space focus for the photos to express and breath. Dark but vibrant contrast from the solid backgrounds juxtaposition to the life exploding from the photos reflect both the scene at hand and the photographers own personality.
Built on Wordpress
Once again, to provide our clients with the best experience and allow them a free workflow, where they can continue publishing content unrestricted, we chose to build this site as a Wordpress Theme and redeploy all existing content into. This put the full power of publishing content from anwhere back into the hands of our client.

TumbleCloud
A whole new way to tell your story.
TumbleCloud was truly a revolutionary idea by Brian Andreas, and in so, utilized the cutting edge tools, frameworks, and design masterminding that was at that time revolutionizing the internet as we knew it. It exists as a social media collaboration site that provides a place for people to tell their story in their own way, using video, audio, text, pdfs, urls and more! By using TumbleCloud, you can organize all these media items into their own unique sequence, stream it back as a complete project and share it. But why have me explain it, the creative genius behind it himself says it so much better:
Welcome to a whole new place for collaborative digital storytelling, a place where you can easily arrange, display, and manipulate shared multimedia content.
Collaborate online the way you would in person – building on each other’s conversations, sparking new ideas, and weaving a collective story together.
Drag and drop any form of multimedia – music, images, video, text, even PDFs and spreadsheets - into shared, open, dynamic digital stories.
tumblecloud makes it easy to create multi-media collages, so you, and all the people you know, from family to co-workers, have a place where you can create together.

TumbleCloud In Action
My Role
Proof Of Concept
Since I brought in the project, it was my responsibility to create a POC of the transcoder. It's objective was to multiplex audio, video, images and text of various lengths, sizes and formats into a single media item (usually either an audio or video file depending on the presence of visual objects in the queue). To do this, I leveraged the LGPL ffmpeg library built a PHP script that accepted an XML file with various commands for fading options.
Implementation
With a team of 5-6 other developers, we worked together in a CI/SCRUM style environment to start taking mockups and UX guides and implenting them to spec. Being small, we were a diverse team and ownership of any single model was only in namesake, but in fact, we were required to be able to pick up any body elses code own it at any time. This dynamic structure allowed us to work towards a unified voice in the architecture and resulted in cleaner code overall.
Cutting Edge Technology
Drag and drop, fully scalable and borderless workbench. Drop media items on the work bench and adjust their playtime, position, and other properties.
Intelligent drop zones and grid guidance that allows you to snap to other media items.
Well structured MVC paradigm on top of Emberjs and mustache templates makes managing and creating new media objects in stacks simple and globally managed.
Social media style sharing architecture that allows published clouds to be put out to public, group, friend and personal feeds. This required comprehensive privacy roles enforced on all layers of throughput.
