Welcome, my name is Mike and I am a Web Developer. I am passionate about transforming complex challenges into elegant, performant web applications. Expertise in building responsive, mobile-first experiences using modern PHP and JavaScript frameworks. Committed to clean code, optimal user experience, and continuous learning.
Outside of coding you’ll find me searching for the best bagel sandwiches, exploring new spots in town, or chefing it up at home.
Developed the Bulamu Healthcare website based on provided mock-ups. The design is a refreshing take on donation sites, with an e-commerce backed donor platform which creates an immersive and educational donation experience. The Patient Stories page displays videos with a layout inspired by Netflix.
Played a key role in the development of the redesigned Arkansas Game and Fish Commission website, transforming it into a modern, user-friendly platform. The previous site suffered from poor navigation, requiring users to click through multiple pages to locate essential information. The new design addresses this by grouping popular categories together, integrating intuitive side navigation, and adding 'more-like-this' sections. As a result, users can now discover related content faster and with fewer clicks, enhancing overall accessibility and engagement.
Developed the Arkansas Opioid Recovery Partnership website based on mockups
The goal was to create a seamless user experience that feels fully integrated with the main college website. The design, navigation, and branding were carefully aligned to ensure consistency, making it nearly impossible for users to distinguish the nursing site as a separate entity. This approach helped maintain user trust, ease of access, and a cohesive online presence for the institution.
Contributed to the developement of the Homepage for the Go Eldorado Website
Assisted with the redesign and integration of The Clinton Foundation website. With a focus on the 42 Bar & Table page/main navbar.
I use a multitude of resources to continue to develop and hone my skills. As someone who is truly passionate about coding and the tech industry, I am always reading articles, blogs, or watching videos on new or different ways to code. Whether for my career path or life path, I strive to keep learning and progressing.
Working mainly with Front-End: HTML | CSS | JS | REACT | Twig | Blade
Back-End: PHP | Node.js
I try to keep my environment, thoughts and tasks organized. I use a planner for day to day tasks as well as a notebook for more in-depth notes. As a Handyman, I had to orchestrate several different moving parts, in order to get projects done. I had to stay very organized to keep myself, as well as those I subcontracted, on schedule.
These skills translate well into the web develpment environment.
I am very much so a team player, although, I tend to land/enjoy leadership roles. I believe effective and continued communication plays a huge role in teamwork.
