Maven, Programmer, Bloger, Presenter

I am Software Engineer by education, a programmer by trade, and gregarious by nature. I have worked on DLLs, Server Communication, Image Processing, and Web Programming. Currently, I find myself exploring Angluar.js and thinking about the front end. I also spend a good deal of time in around the development community at meetups.

About Me

Talks

I give talks to the community primarily but not limited to Angular.js. I have presented to private companies and at conferences. If you want me to talk for your group contact me though twitter.

Blog

I started blogging to keep track of what I had learned, and share my experience with the community. Now it’s a platform to answer questions, explain larger ideas and support my talks and development.

Projects

Every programmer has pet projects and bursts of vision. When I expect that there will be enough motivation to finish them I’ll usually post them on Github. Occasionally, when possible, I’ll even link to a live project.

Talks: Angular.js

I have been talking about Angular.js around southeastern Michigan since the beginning of 2014. From the Craftsmen's Guild in Ann Arbor to the Walsh College Source Community in Troy. I even had the honor to present my talk at Google Dev Fest at Quicken and Self.Conference at Cobo Hall.

Top Down Angular.js

This last weekend I presented at Self.Conference in Detroit, MI what is the last version of my Angular.js talk. The talk has evolved along the lines of what I see as the most powerful and accessible features of Angular.js. So, if you have missed one of the talks here is what you should know to get started with Angular.js and a little of why it’s important. First...

Simple Express.js. Setup, Plus Routes

I’ve dabbled in Node.js here and there but recently I dove head in head first to work on a personal project. When getting started with Express it was easy to find examples that had much more than what I needed. Taking it all in this is how it boils down...

Build a Better Bar Chart Using SVG and HTML

Most people looking at SVG are trying to do some sort of charting. Starting off it looks simple but quickly quarks start piling up till your trivial task is slightly more convoluted. Looking over these examples of how you probably progressed I have a final example that allows you to remove some of the bss aackward ness from the process...

cryptxt.co

Cryptxt is a message encoder. A user enters text, gets a short link and can share that with a friend via the link and optional passowrd.

GitHub Projects

I have a couple of projects on GitHub. Some with more traffic than others. Here are a few of the most notable.

Angular With Partial View Views

This project I created as an example for this question on StackOverflow regarding MVC partials and client side MVC like Angular. It's gotten more favorites than any other so far.

Arduino 3x8 Pixel Scroller

This was a project I creatd with a Arduino mini that I bought to make a POV display for my bike. Decent comments in the C code.
