About

In one way or another, I have been involved “On The Web” since the early 2000’s. That kinda makes me a Dinosaur.

I started as a young teen plugging in the telephone line and browsing on my parents dial-up AOL account. Later evolved into joining chatrooms, IRC, and MySpace.

I’ve always liked to tinker and experiment, try new things. One night I learned that I could right-click in the browser and “View Source” of the page I was visiting. It wasn’t long before I started copying HTML into Notepad and figuring things out. Learning CSS came much later.

During the booming start of MySpace, I learned to create colorful attractive pages & profiles. Attractive? Yeah, that’s highly subjective 🤣. I made heavy use of marquee and blink.

Over time I learned PHP & MySQL, Linux, Apache & NGINX, ExpressionEngine, and ProcessWire.

With the explosion of NodeJS and JavaScript frameworks, I skipped learning React and went straight to VueJS, which led me to Nuxt. I don’t use them much right now. But I am learning more & more every day!

Currently I am in love with Astro, TailwindCSS, and the JAMstack. Along the way I want to incororate Directus for more advanced projects.

This page will never be done!

As a Web Developer, there is always more to learn!
