Q-Story

A web app to help with creative writing, to promote literacy, to zen out, or just for creating silly stories. It is actually really fun. You can try the App without logging in or registering. If you want to save your work, registering is simple, and no email verification is required.

There is also a 3min video of me presenting this project.

Task Tracker

This is a web app that tracks tasks. This tracker is used to monitor more complex tasks than to-do lists, but less complex than longer term 'project' like tasks.

Work Experiences

Prior to starting as a web developer, I have worked on a variety of projects during my +10-year career as a Project Manager. I dealt with both multi-year million-dollar projects, as well as projects under $5k with thin margins and short deadlines. I have honed my scheduling, time management, and communication skills.
