About Me

I build and deploy secure, scalable applications with Javascript, CSS, HTML, MongoDB, React, Node.js, and AWS, among other technologies. I sharpen my skills through red team/blue team labs and CTF competitions. I come from a military background where I solved complex problems, mentored others, and developed lasting solutions that continue to make an impact today. I’m always open to collaborating on open-source, sharing knowledge, and helping others grow in tech.


My overall goal is to create a SkillBridge program that trains Veterans and Active Duty members in full stack development through hands-on client projects, mentorship, and real-world site deployments.


  • 🌍 I'm based in Philadelphia, PA but frequently travel to Raleigh, NC!
  • ✉️ To setup an appointment, here is my Schedule
  • 🚀 I'm currently working on a Christmas tree farmer's online presence, Richardson Tree Company, by creating their website.
  • 🧠 I'm currently learning the C languages: C | C# | C++. It's less complex compared to Java, but somehow more complex at the same time.
  • 👥 I'm looking to collaborate on any interesting projects, from simple game development(I'm looking at you Unreal engine developers) to websites and anything under Sun.
  • 💬 Ask me about my fleet of drones: DJI minis and Mavics; Parrot Anafi for its AI capabilities; an Autel: RIP 2024; and a tens of homemade drones.
