DEVELOPER

Everyone gets their start somewhere, for myself it was at 365 Parking. My role was to create content for their socials to boost traffic and conversions.

Towards the end of my academia, I found my way working at ISlide USA. I was on a team of designers, in charge of proof requests for custom slides.

Eventually landing gigs as a Motion Graphic Designer at ParsonsKellogg & a Web Designer at Black Door Creative. These gigs pushed my career to new heights with increased skillsets & knowledge.

On the side I was hired as a Junior Graphic Designer at Rocketbook & CertaPro Painters to assist with routine daily tasks respectfully for their business needs.

Today I am a Web Designer at IGT, focusing on in-house requests for new web page builds, maintenance of standing site & sub domains, as well as front-end development for site components & backend server patches.

BACK STORY

Don’t worry I’m not going to bore you with endless tad bits of information about myself that you never asked for. But while you’re here, I’ll give you a crash course about my background. Jersey boy (Born and Raised) but started my creative career in Rhode Island, eventually moving to Austin, TX in pursuit of more balance in life between career and livelihood.

However, in the hustle and bustle of life, I can’t help but to always want to do more. To continue to push myself in all different sectors, but at the same time finding equilibrium in my life. More than anything, continue to grow as a developer and as a human being.

When taking the next step to work with me, I can assure you this, I may not have the solution right away but I won’t quit until we find a way. When joining you’re business and my services, you can take great solace knowing that you’re business will only benefit and grow from where it is today, because it's ultimately when your business succeeds that I consider our work to be truly worthwhile.
