Hello! Thanks for visiting my blog. I am currently a Test Engineer at Hyland Software. I enjoy building websites, hiking in old growth forests, cooking, feasting, and photography.

In addition to this blog, I have built quotemuseum.com, and a few single page web applications. My web applications include an online version of the license plate game, acheck list, and a tool for visualizing how much interest your loans will cost.

My blog uses a content management system I coded myself using the LAMP stack. Why did I create a CMS when there are plenty of capable free CMS's? So I could learn! Creating this from scratch forced me to learn HTML, CSS, PHP, SQL, JavaScript, graphic design, photography, and typography. All of my sites were done by hand in a text editor, photo editor, and command line.

In addition to what I listed above I also have over 5 years experience coding with .NET and C#. I've spent much of that time writing automated web UI tests using Selenium and NUnit. In my spare time I have also create ASP.NET Core REST API's and done some work with Angular front ends. See quotemuseum.com for an example of my Angular and REST API work.
