About Me

Who is behind the keyboard.

/usr/share/readme.md

Hi! I'm Steven, a professional full stack developer. I've worked in the telecommunications industry building large scale web applications for over 10+ years. I have a Bachelors of Computer Science from Colorado State University and spend my hobby programming time building web tools, automation scripts, and video games.

Currently, I'm working on incorporating AI into my software to help build dynamic applications in new ways.

What I Do

frontEndDesign

My experience includes gathering business requirements, wireframing, mockups, prototyping, and iterative development. I've engineered front ends in Vue, Angular, React, and VanillaJS while styling with Bootstrap, Materialize, custom CSS & SASS.

buildApis

I create RESTful web APIs as both standalone projects, or paired as microservice layers for web applications. I've created APIs in multiple languages including Java, Node, PHP, and Python. Stress testing, security, and documentation are vital to a successful API release.

additionalSkills

I have experience creating realtime web applications using websockets. I've worked with Docker and Jenkins for CI/CD pipelines. I've also worked with Git, SVN, and Jira for version control and project management alongside scrum and agile methodologies.

modelData

Creating data models and translating those into the appropriate persistence layers is key to a successful front-backend connection. I've worked with relational databases, key-value stores, and document stores such as Redis, SQL, Couchbase, ElasticSearch, and MongoDB.

renderGraphics

Responsive design, color theory, UX, branding, typography, as well as experience in Photoshop and Visio are all supplementary skills I have when developing projects. I also have experience using custom AI models for image creation.
