My Story

A little background on how I got here.

  • 2005-2008

    The College Years

    I attended Texas Tech University where in three years I received my Bachelors in Business Administration. Through-out this time I self-taught myself programming and freelance developed on the side of my coursework.

  • Fall 2008

    Making it a Career

    After graduating I was hired for a front-end development role where I built, managed and maintained over a hundred websites for car dealerships and continued to develop my full-stack skills.

  • Early 2014

    Laravel Discovered

    I stumbled across Laravel looking for an elegant PHP framework - and fell in love. Laravel has been my go-to development framework since then for my full-time job, side-projects, and freelancing gigs.

  • 2015-2019

    Laravel, Laravel, Laravel

    Multiple full-time jobs as a Senior Developer specializing in Laravel; dozens of Laravel freelance jobs for startups, large-corporations, or building that Entrepreneur's MVP; thousands of hours spent on personal side-projects developing my craft.

  • Present

    Working with...YOU
