Who I Am
I’m a web developer and project manager with a unique blend of technical skills, business strategy, and military discipline.
My journey has taken me from launching businesses to troubleshooting complex IT systems in the U.S. Navy, all the way to building high-performance websites and leading digital projects.
I thrive at the intersection of technology, problem-solving, and leadership.
How It Started
Graduating into the 2010 job market, I quickly learned how to adapt. After being laid off, I turned my communication degree and corporate experience into an entrepreneurial venture—where I built my first website.
With zero background in coding, I picked up Jon Duckett’s HTML & CSS book and taught myself front-end development. That hands-on learning ignited my passion for creating digital solutions.
Military Precision Meets Tech Innovation
Driven by a lifelong goal, I enlisted in the U.S. Navy as a Fire Controlman (FC) under the Advanced Electronics/Computer Field (AECF) program.
Here, I developed:
✅ Advanced IT troubleshooting skills
✅ Experience with high-stakes defense technology
✅ The ability to solve problems under pressure
These skills seamlessly transferred into my career as a web developer and project manager.
From Entrepreneur to Digital Leader
After the military, I launched HIIT HART, an online fitness platform that required me to:
💻 Develop a responsive, user-friendly website
🛒 Customize WooCommerce for e-commerce
🔗 Implement APIs to automate workflows
⚡ Optimize site speed and performance
This experience proved that I wasn’t just a developer—I was a tech-focused problem solver and project manager.
To formalize my skills, I earned industry-leading certifications:
🎓 PMP
🎓 CSM
🎓 ITIL
Giving Back Through Tech
I believe in sharing knowledge and helping others grow. As a volunteer with New York Cares, I led a web design program for high school students—teaching them coding skills and guiding them to create their own sports blog.
Seeing others gain confidence through tech fuels my passion for mentorship and leadership.
Beyond the Screen
When I’m not coding or managing projects, I’m:
🚗 Restoring my 1973 Volkswagen Beetle
📖 Learning new tech & business strategies
🏋️ Staying active through fitness
Every project I take on—whether in tech, business, or life—I approach with focus, strategy, and curiosity.
