About Me

Project management tools are my launchpad. For freelance and personal work, I lean on Azure DevOps—not just for version control, but to streamline project tracking. If the tool already keeps my code in check, why not let it manage my milestones too? That cohesion helps me stay effective and intentional across everything I build. I’ve also gained hands-on experience with platforms like JIRA, SAGE, Trello, and Monday.com. Depending on the team, scope, and stakeholder needs, I flex between them to stay aligned, organized, and efficient.

Technology isn’t just a tool — it’s a partner in problem-solving.

I use AI as a strategic collaborator — interrogating ideas, testing logic, and surfacing blind spots before they become bottlenecks. Whether I’m refining a flow in Power Automate, architecting a data model, or developing custom code, I treat AI as a second set of eyes: curious, thorough, and always asking “What might we be missing?”

This practice shows up everywhere — in client work, personal projects, and the thought exercises that shape how I build. I don’t delegate decisions to AI, but I do challenge them alongside it. The result? Solutions that are clearer, more resilient, and ready for real-world complexity.

Form is function. Concept is craft.

Design isn’t decoration — it’s the shape of understanding. For me, creativity begins as a personal venture: intuitive, exploratory, and deeply curious. But real execution demands discipline. That’s where formal studies in art history, color theory, and design psychology enter the mix — helping me ground abstract ideas in proven patterns of perception and behavior.

My experience spans motion graphics, 3D, and visual effects — mediums that taught me to choreograph emotion, rhythm, and precision. I leverage the full Adobe Creative Suite — including Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and more — to bring those ideas to life across editorial, interactive, and branded formats.

Whether I’m building interface components or brand visuals, I design with intention: how it looks because of what it does, and how it feels because of what it means.

Flexible tools. Focused thinking. Real outcomes.

My development process is as adaptable as the problems I solve. I work across a spectrum of environments — from lightweight IDEs like VS Code, Atom, Brackets, and Dreamweaver to full platforms like Visual Studio — depending on the project’s scope and specificity.

For web and custom app builds, I use XAMPP to emulate server environments and test thoroughly across PHP, MySQL, and API layers. When developing or extending Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, I spin up Docker containers to prototype features, run isolated instances, and keep environments modular and secure.

I don’t chase trends — I build what works. And my toolkit is always tuned to the outcome: clean, maintainable code and resilient solutions that don’t just meet needs — they anticipate them.

Clarity is everything. Accessibility makes it real.

Whether I’m documenting a process, outlining a strategy, or drafting client deliverables, my writing tools reflect my priorities: cost-effective, flexible, and accessible. In freelance and contract roles, I primarily leverage Google Docs, Sheets, and Drive — platforms that offer intuitive collaboration and low friction across devices and teams.

In full-time environments, I’m fluent in Microsoft Office 365 — including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint — and I adapt seamlessly to whatever documentation standards a company adopts. For internal notes and technical scratch work, I prefer lightweight tools that get out of the way, like Notes or context-specific editors.

Writing is more than formatting — it’s how I structure understanding, invite dialogue, and deliver information that lands.

Reliable solutions aren’t just built — they’re proved.

Testing is more than catching bugs — it’s about making sure every layer of a build holds up under real-world conditions. I tailor my tools and methods to the context:

• Web builds: I use browser inspectors and developer tools to audit DOM structure, accessibility compliance, responsive behavior, and JavaScript performance across platforms and devices.

• Backend systems & APIs: For endpoints and data flow, I rely on Postman to validate response structures, headers, authentication, and edge cases with precision.

• Power Platform & Business Central: I utilize plugin testing tools and Microsoft’s built-in BC test automation frameworks to simulate logic paths, protect data integrity, and reduce deployment risk.

Every build I touch gets tested where it matters — in how it behaves, scales, and serves users without surprises. Because if it’s not resilient, it’s not ready.
