About Me

I am a Web Development professional with extensive experience in the development, maintenance, and management of business applications. My I.T. career experience has predominantly been in online banking and airline flight scheduling applications. Web development has always fascinated me and the time was right to make the transition into this field. I completed the Georgia Tech full stack coding bootcamp where I acquired skills in frontend and backend web development

I believe that my technical skills combined with my ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with both colleagues and clients towards the fulfillment of goals makes me a valuable asset to any team.

My hobbies include woodworking and DIY home projects, music, and all things motorcycle. Hands on and not afraid to get said hands dirty, always trying to do the best job possible.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my page, and please check out my projects on the portfolio page.

I have been blessed to work with Billy in the GA Tech Full Stack Coding Bootcamp since October 2018. We worked together on the same project team using an Agile development method and our team enjoyed working together so much that we continued to meet for daily standups even when we didn't have project-related work to complete. Billy's advice and guidance has been invaluable to me as a newcomer to the tech industry. He has a depth of knowledge and experience that I can only hope to rival someday and I see him as a mentor. Billy is persistent and motivated to create excellent products that meet real-world needs and is not daunted by complex problems- he rolls up his sleeves and solves them. Billy's communication skills, humility, honesty, and sense of humor set him apart and I proudly recommend him as an amazing asset to any organization.
