Hi! I'm Joe, a full stack software engineer based in the Washington, DC metro area.

I build beautiful, responsive web applications.

Why do you like telling computers what to do?

Tandy 1000RL vintage advertisement

Ever since I was young, I've messed around with computers. It all started with a Tandy 1000RL from Radio Shack. I spent hours trying to install Windows 2.0 on it, but I think disk #4 was corrupted. Fast forward to 1996 - I managed to dual boot Slackware Linux alongside Windows 95, without accidentally formatting over it! Around that time, I also ventured into the world of web development. The first website I made was a "Java Enhanced" Simpsons fan site hosted on AOL. It was full of unnecessary java applets and way too many GIFs (I even got a copyright takedown notice from Sun Microsystems for using an image of the Java mascot, Duke).

After many years and a successful career in the hotel industry, where creative problem solving is a daily occurrence, I've decided to return to my first love. Once I started developing for the web again, the joy and the excitement of that awful Simpsons fan site came rushing back.

These are some of my current favorite technologies to work with:

  • Frontend: React, HTML5/CSS3, Vanilla JS, 11ty, TailwindCSS, Bootstrap
  • Backend: Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, Mongoose, PostgreSQL

I do some freelancing, too.

First impressions matter.
