About Me

Personal

I am a native of Cincinnati, Ohio with a passion for technology, wellness, and just about anything related to audio. At the age of 24 I realized that I needed to get out of my comfort zone, so I decided to make the move to Nashville, Tennessee in the summer of 2019.

Tech

After pursuing musical endeavors full-time for my first year in Nashville, I came to the conclusion that I needed to find something more lucrative and engaging. Software development seemed to be a near-perfect balance between logic-based critical thinking and creative problem-solving. I happened upon Nashville Software School where I am currently attending their six-month intensive web development boot camp. I have experience building applications both on an individual level and in team-based environments with JavaScript and React, as well as styling with Reactstrap and CSS. Currently my focus is on Python and building databases with Django's REST framework. I am also familiar with managing project version control and issue tickets using Git and GitHub.

Music Production // Live Performance

I began dabbling into music production in my mid to late teens and I never stopped. My production style is heavily influenced by hip-hop and bass music and it is all done on the computer. The best thing about producing music is getting to share it with other people, and I do that through my live performances. This hobby has helped me develop skills that have become extremely valuable in many other aspects of my life. Those skills being patience, organization, efficiency, persistence, networking, and an ability to self-teach.

Audio Engineering

Audio engineering, for me, is the act of mixing and mastering a piece of music. It is a relatively new subject matter for me, and while it still requires creativity, it is a lot more technical than its music production counter-part, which is more focused on spawning new ideas rathan than solving problems. My passion for audio engineering has grown tremedously over the past few years. The feeling you get when you can take someone else's piece of music to that release-ready quality while maintaining the original integrity of the song and have them be totally happy with the results is one of the most rewarding experiences ever.

Bookkeeper

GitHub Repository
Bookkeeper is a virtual library application for anyone wanting to store and keep track of their books in an organized fashion via the app's "shelves" feature. It also gives the user the ability to share their reading progress with other users that follow them. Reading books is a tremendous activity. Whether you're entertaining yourself, learning something new, or just decompressing after a long day, books are always there when you need them.

I wanted a virtual way to notate, share, and keep track of my books, so I built Bookkeeper. Originally, I put this application together in two weeks, mainly using React's Javascript library. My goals were to gain a better understanding of state and data relationships by incorporating full CRUD functionality, as well as becoming more familiar with the React library, specifically React Hooks and props, all while maintaining a user-friendly experience.

Server-Side Capstone coming soon!!
