I taught myself programming by making horrible video games, now I dabble in Software and Web Development, and I love it!
Here is an outline of the skill and technologies which I have worked with in the past.
JavaScript
Node.js
Express
MongoDB
Django
Java
C# (.NET)
Python
Git
Agile Methodology
Unity3D
Design Patterns
Data Structures
A Racing themed Discord Bot written in Java using MongoDB and JDA wrapper. Earn Credits, buy car components, build your custom race car and race against other members! Challenge other members for an impromptu drag race, register for the hourly tournaments with randomly generated racetracks, or test your car against the best of the best with a daily Grand Prix tournament with premium prizes.
Designed and developed by a team of three as the final project for a Design Patterns course over the course of two months.
Voted #1 final project in class during Fall 2021 semester.
Created in only three weeks in a team of four and leveraging the AGILE and SCRUM methodologies, Planetary Doom is a 2D game created with C# and Unity engine.
Defend the planet from extraterrestrial threats, earn Scrap and upgrade your defenses as the planets inhabitants flee in between waves of enemies. As the game progresses you experience more difficult threats, such as new types of enemies and bosses. Go ahead, give it a try!
Voted #1 final project in class during Summer 2021 semester.
Originally designed as a wrapper for Microsoft Office OSPP.vbs script, the tool was designed, developed and iterated into a staple in-house software solution for Computer Express LLC, my employer.
Held together with duct tape and magic, this application was always supposed to be a quick and dirty solution. In short the application is a glorified web crawler that performs specific actions in order to use Microsoft SMS Office activation website to generate confirmation IDs for faster Office 2019 activation.
Hacked together in less than two weeks and have been reiterated over the past couple of years, the software was built using Windows Forms, C#, .NET 2.4 and Selenium Grid.

WORK IN PROGRESS!
CTA is a local government accountability web app which uses crowdsourced data from Connecticut residents. Main purpose of the application is to document each local government’s response timeframe to some locally issued permits, analyze and visualize that data in a meaningful way.
Being developed with Angular, Node.js, Express, MongoDB and utilizing Leaflet.
Pictured is the original prototype developed in Django.
Souce Code will be released at a later date.
WORK IN PROGRESS!
I decided to design and develop a tool for in-house purposes at Computer Express LLC. The tool is meant to be used for Windows Imaging and performing various pre-installation tasks.
Developed to facilitate easier WIM file application from a network attached drive within WinPE, the application has grown into a more versatile tool which allows for executing sequential Batch and Command files, for automating formatting, imaging, flashing, etc.
Being developed with C#, WinForms and .NET 4.7
Source code and more information available on my GitHub below!
A simple application developed for in-house QA purposes at Computer Express LLC. Meant to test LCD displays with built in touchscreen before being integrated into final product. Featuring dynamic test cases with touch drawing.
Developed with JavaScript and Electron.js.

When Im not working on software projects, I enjoy some of my other hobbies.
Over the years I’ve picked up some things, such as:
I have been dabbling in self-hosting services and virtualization on my home network, although I have over 8 years experience in the IT field as a System Integrator, there is still lots to learn. I have since built a proper server rack in my basement to experiment and learn new things with. I find configuring systems and managing my local network to be extremely gratifying, especially when I get to learn new things.
Some technologies I’ve worked with:
Proxmox VM
Linux (Ubuntu Server)
Docker
Portainer (Kubernetes)
pfSense
NGINX Reverse Proxy
More… Lots more…
In May of 2020, I have purchased my first 3D printer, now I have 5 of them, a breadth of experience in CAD design for additive manufacturing. To date, I have delivered over 2000 printed parts to local businesses in Connecticut, striving for quick delivery and impeccable print quality. My biggest achievement thus far is automating much of the 3D printing process while still retaining excellent results.
Tools I have experience with:
Fusion 360
Klipper and Marlin Firmware
Octoprint (Octofarm)
For the curious, the printers I work with:
1x Voron 2.4 R2
2x Prusa i3s (One MK3, one MK3+)
2x Ender 3 Pro (One Bowden, One Direct Drive, Both Modded)
Since my introduction to programming was by making terrible video games, today it’s still a passions of mine. From time to time, I like to hop back in and experiment in Blender and Unity to create prototypes and fun ideas, most of which don’t see the light of day, although my project folder is spilling out.
