Hi. I develop fresh web apps that solve problems and create opportunities. Both when working in a team or as an independent developer, I have had a hand in bringing some captivating tools to market.

Highlights

Here are a few projects which illustrate the breadth of my experience in product development, database application programming, interface design, and marketing.

BenefitCompare, a complete broker app for delivering health insurance includes cost analysis and decision support for families. This project is technically significant for the manner which it parses and warehouses volumes of product data from insurance carrier PDFs.

PillowMob, a digital printed fabric pillow featured on the Today Show, manufactured in San Diego and shipped globally. This project leverages many APIs in order to purchase, share, and ship custom products.

CompleteCampaigns, a CRM and accounting platform for political campaigns. In addition to financial reporting, this platform analyzes millions of voter records.

An interactive electoral map for the United States Electoral College.

A national call-in sweepstakes for Verizon Wireless.
