My Career Journey
I began my professional journey developing custom desktop, web, and mobile applications for clients worldwide. This position gave me a lot of design and implementation freedom, but with great power came great responsibility. Having this big of a responsibility early in my career taught me a lot of tough lessons, but the direct impact I had on peoples lives and the knowledge learned was very much worth it.
Currently, I work as a full-stack developer at a Fortune 100 company in Denver, using primarily Node, React, and Python. In this more structured environment with sprints, code reviews, and CI/CD pipelines, I’ve grown into a lead JavaScript role focused on code quality and team success.
Both of these experiences make me the developer I am today. My first job gave me the confidence to solve unknown problems on my own, and my current job focuses more on quality and finding the best solutions. I really love what I do and if I can help at least one person out there through this blog I’ll feel like I’ve done my job.
Beyond The Code
To balance the desk-bound nature of coding, I try to remain active through MMA, volleyball, hiking, basketball, yoga, frisbee golf, and snowboarding – really anything to get me moving. Outside of exercise, I enjoy cooking, dog-sitting through Rover, gaming, and working on side projects like this site and briviodigital.com. This pursuit of continuous learning and new experiences aligns perfectly with my development philosophy – there’s always something new to master.
