I have been building websites since the 90s, professionally since 2001. My web development career really got kicked into high gear when I went to college in 2004. While at the University of South Carolina, I started an ecommerce business. I continued to grow the business while also increasing the pace of my education. I graduated in 2007 with a double major in business management and marketing and decided to focus on the ecommerce business full time. I would continue to grow the business until I sold it and joined Limelight Web Development in 2011. This move was largely inspired by my growing preference of web development over other aspects of the business. Joining a web development company allowed me to focus full time on web development and learning new skills. While at Limelight, I developed a huge variety of web applications for clients as well as developing a new version of their proprietary CMS. In 2015 I joined Verian Technologies, which was purchased by Basware a few months later. At Basware I work with both desktop application and mobile application development on a small but skilled team of software engineers. I am always looking for practical ways to try out new technologies and expand my skill set.
