Hey! I'm JP, web developer and general geek

I'm a full-stack developer with years of experience developing custom websites and apps for a wide range of clients including nonprofits, small businesses, and professionals; as well as back-end development utilizing Django/Python, and Symfony2/PHP. I keep up to date with the latest trends in front and back-end methodologies and use them to build beautiful and functional web experiences.

At the moment I'm interning with Workday as an applications developer utilizing their proprietary language, XpressO, to develop features on their Financials Projects team.

I'm currently for hire

My general interests lie in...

Responsive Design

With much of the world accessing the web through mobile devices, it's especially important to make sure that web sites are designed from the ground up to look great across all devices.

HTML5/CSS3 Dev

I have a strong passion in front-end web development and always try to stay up to date with the newest tools and methodologies to deliver clean and modern sites.

JavaScript jQuery

Using JavaScript and jQuery, I help to create interactive web experiences that not only look sleek, but function smoothly and efficiently as well.

You smart. You very smart. Matter of fact, you a genius.
