I got my start as a developer working with Macromedia Flash while studying Computer Science at Brooklyn College. I began building Flash websites with data-driven concert events and MP3 players for my singer-songwriter friends. Some of those friends showed their sites to the restaurant owners where they worked, and soon I had a growing career designing and building restaurant websites with customizable food menus and special events calendars. I transitioned to PHP, started developing my own CMS with CodeCharge, and then discovered WordPress in 2005 – and I haven’t looked back.
I freelanced for the first 10 years, creating sites for a wide range of clients, from non-profits to boutique financial investment firms. My work for the Williams College Museum of Art led to a full-time job at the College in 2012, where I became their senior developer from 2014 to 2022. After leaving the College, I joined Magneti Marketing, a boutique creative advertising agency, as a senior developer, working with WordPress, React, WooCommerce, Elementor, and more.
When I’m not coding, you’ll find me playing music – either on a keyboard or a guitar, writing baroque pop and electronic jazz. I also love mountain biking, reading, and restoring my sailboat, a 1976 34-foot Bristol centerboard sloop named Ladybug.
