One mindset that was taught to me at a young age is that to teach is to learn twice. I have applied this to many areas of my life, from being an instructor in martial arts to tutoring and mentoring coding bootcamp students.
The satisfaction that I get from teaching and helping others is truly the greatest feeling in the world to me. This further pushes me to become the best version of myself and to never stop learning and growing in all areas of my life, personal and professional, so that I can share my ever-increasing knowledge with others and learn from them in turn.

I am skilled in all phases of the design process.
Diverse experience utilizing Java & PHP in business, Web, and client-server environments. I work with clients and peers to transform ideas into well thought out and structured code.
Experience using MySQL & PostgreSQL to sketch and connect interfaces to databases with a focus on content structure and intuitive patterns.
Responsive web design is an approach I always take to allow desktop webpages to be viewed in response to the size of the screen or web browser one is viewing with.
I design in the browser with HTML/CSS, Angular/AngularJS, and vanilla JavaScript. I love developing from the bottom up, but can work with pre-designed front-ends as well.
Input from some of the best developers that I've had the pleasure to work with.
I've had the privilege of knowing Justin for over 7 years. Justin and I worked together professionally as Customer Relations Managers at Ron Marhofer and have also studied along side one another academically while pursuing educations in software development at Tech Elevator in Cleveland, OH. Justin is one of the most passionate and driven individuals I've ever met. When working in a group or collaborating with others, Justin always goes above and beyond to communicate, contribute and hold himself as well as others accountable. He has great vision for his work and always exhibits strong focus and determination to not only complete tasks on time but to verify whatever he is working on meets the highest standards. During our time studying together at Tech Elevator I watched Justin apply all of these principles and skills towards software development which has allowed him to obtain and display excellent knowledge and understanding of all facets of the development stack. I fully endorse and recommend Justin, as I have no doubt he will translate his natural passion and pursuit of excellence to his new career as a software developer.
Justin is an extremely versatile, driven, and passionate person who has always amazed me with what he’s able to accomplish while pursuing his work and personal goals, but after introducing him to programming, it didn’t take long to see that he had found his “true calling” in technology. He had seen how rigorous the Tech Elevator Java certification bootcamp was while I was going through it, but he unflinching joined it when he discovered his natural aptitude and love for code, and did an absolutely incredible job of quickly picking up the overwhelming amount of concepts that were taught and going beyond the requirements of his projects in order to get the most out of each piece of the experience. As a result, he has developed a solid repertoire of skills and knowledge which he has continued to build upon every day, and with his relentless commitment to becoming what he often refers to as “the best version of himself” (in life, not just in software development), I know Justin will be an invaluable asset to any organization who has him on their team.
