I'm a full stack web developer and software developer in Bloomington with more than ten years of experience. I did my apprenticeship at a small but acclaimed software company in 2012 (Atomic Object in Grand Rapids, Michigan), and I've built dozens of applications and websites for clients since then.
I've built a huge range of products, from basic websites for small businesses to large software systems for multimillion-dollar companies. I've developed and maintained applications for sales and inventory, warehouse/shipping logistics, scheduling, payroll, staffing, and HR; I've created working prototypes and launched social networks for startups; I've done technical consulting, contributed to open source projects, built games, fixed bugs in third-party products, tutored in computer programming, and given talks at conferences on niche topics. I love my craft and work very hard to hone my skills in it.
My ideal clients are:
-Businesses in need of web-based tools for selling, customer service, operations, etc.
-Startups ready to build their products
-Companies with existing software in need of maintenance or improvement
-Organizations and individuals looking for websites, whether basic or complex
As an individual with few overhead expenses, my rates are more affordable than those of typical software companies. I charge $60 per hour for all project types. Initial consultations are free, and I provide cost estimates before starting. I'm not currently seeking non-paying jobs.
My primary skills and interests include:
-Markup and layout (HTML5 and CSS3)
-Client-side programming (JavaScript and judicious use of libraries and frameworks)
-Server-side programming (PHP and Node.js)
-Web APIs
-Relational and document/object databases (MySQL and MongoDB)
-Accessibility
In less technical terms, if it runs on a computer, I can probably build it.
I also offer technical consulting and tutoring in computer programming.
I do not vibe code. I've been a professional software developer since well before AI coding tools were available, and I know the value of deeply understanding every piece of the products I build. I use some agentic coding tools where appropriate, but only to assist in my thoughtful, human process.
