I am a Full Stack Engineer, working on the front-end with HTML5, CSS3, ReactJS and JavaScript to create clean, responsive applcations that work seamlessly across devices. On the back-end, I develop applications and RESTful API's with Node.js, Express, and MongoDB.
I design and develop full stack web applications using the latest technologies and tools.
When I am working on the front-end with HTML5, CSS3, ReactJS and JavaScript, my goal is to create clean, semantic and responsive sites that work seamlessly on any device, in any browser. Additionally, I have experience with Adobe products like Photoshop, Illustrator and Lightroom and can implement and mock up new designs for review and collaboration.
I am also a back-end engineer. I enjoy building RESTful API's with Node.js, Express, and MongoDB, while also coding front-end applications to consume the data. I have experience with test-driven-development as well, using tools like Mocha and Chai, and simultaneously integrating unit tests as part of deployment with Travis CI.
I am always on the lookout for the next great tool, library or framework to add to a growing arsenal that includes: Gulp, SASS, SQL, Handlebars.js, jQuery, Mocha, Chai, Git, Github, Moment.js, Bootstrap... and many, many more.
Technology is and has always been my passion. I have previously earned an Electrical Enginering degree and have spent over 15 years in network and systems engineering. Along the way I've been involved with everything from desktop provisioning to network architecture, security and business continuity before pursuing education in the most cutting edge software engineering methods.
I live in NYC with my beautiful wife, our baby boy, dozens of fish and corals, and my loyal assistant Penny the Golden Retriever.

Comic Collector is an ongoing project, currently in version 0.2. Phase 1 involved developing the initial version of a data model and API using Node, Express and MongoDB as well as covering every API endpoint with a full series of automated unit tests.
The idea is simple - it can be difficult to keep track of single issues of a comic book series, and that difficulty increases exponentially with each additional series you follow. Comic Collector is meant to change that.
In its most basic form, a user can keep a collection of all the comic book series they read regularly. The stored data includes basic fields like the series' title, start year and most importantly, the official Marvel ID number. The user will be able to see the cover images for each of the issues in each series, with the most recent on top. The user's collection will also track which issues they already own and/or which they are missing based on availability at any given date.
Discovery is also key, and Comic Collector helps with that too. By simply entering a title name in the search field, the official Marvel public API is queried. Once a user finds the series they want to read, a single click adds it to their collection and issue tracking begins.
Phase 2, in development now, is the creation of a robust front end to consume this API and provide a robust user experience.

The Zombie Readiness Reminder is a Node.js / Express / MongoDB application to help you prepare for the coming zombie apocalypse. BRAINZZ!
Built on Node.js, data for each task is stored in a MongoDB database modeled with Mongoose.js and a RESTful API, built on top of Express, exposes that data. The front end is built using HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery with Handlebars.js providing the templates for client side rendering. It is deployed on Heroku with continuous integration via Travis CI and a full set of tests through the Mocha test runner and Chai assertion library.

This app is a sort of Google Image / Video Search and Wikipedia mash-up. It uses deferred promises to execute 3 asynchronus AJAX calls against 3 external APIs - Flickr, YouTube and Wikipedia. The data is returned and displayed using a Masonry gallery below some introductory Wikipedia data about the desired reef fish.
