Development
90's Kid!
In the 90's, I started developing apps when I was kid, and it has been a passion of mine ever since. At the time, my primary focus was creating tools and games in Visual Basic. I have fond memories of loading apps I created to floppy disk media and sharing them with friends!
Visual Basic
Back in 2009, I had the opportunity to apply my Visual Basic skills in the workplace at Rite Aid. I developed a Photo Widget app that assisted technicians with visuals for resolving issues at the call center. This was my first real world / professional app in the workplace!
JavaScript & Full-Stack Web Development
Fast forward to around 2013, it became apparent that Visual Basic was losing popularity. So, I started to study JavaScript for use in web applications. Not before long, I was developing full-stack web applications in the workplace. For example, I developed a complete guest sign-in device called the Welcome Kiosk. This device has been in use at Temple University for years now. I really enjoy creating apps that are device agnostic!

Unity Engine
Around 2016, I decided to study the Unity development engine. This proved to be challenging at first, but I felt a great sense of accomplishment after creating my first applications. I have created multiple educational apps that use virtual reality, as well as standard 3D apps. I even made some video games! This style of app development has led to some of the most rewarding experiences I have encountered in the workplace.

I captured and edited some demo footage for this video to demonstrate possibilities in Unity.
Power Apps
In 2019, I started developing Power Apps to resolve workflow issues at Temple. This platform reminds me a lot of working with Visual Basic from years ago, but with a sort-of Excel/GUI element to it. I have created some amazing applications that interface with all sorts of other Office 365 apps and services. Some of these apps include a Leave Request System, Grant Tracker, Continuing Education Request Tracker, and a Ticket Support System.
