Thanks for visiting my online portfolio.
Please, have a look around...
Check out how I've developed into yours truly.

This portfolio of GIS applications showcases some of my work—projects in which I've taken the Lead Developer role.


While each project showcases a variety of different layouts and features, all applications are mobile-ready and accessible from any device—they are built using Esri's REST and JavaScript APIs as well as responsive-design frameworks like Materialize, Bootstrap & Calcite.


Of course, good looks aren't everything. My UIs are complemented by efficient server-side and client-side code (I use a variety of tools like ColdFusion, PHP, Python and Node.js), in order to handle the complex GIS data that is backed by ArcGIS Enterprise and Microsoft SQL resources.
