Web developer, HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript tutor and graphic design student.
One of my favorite projects so far has been helping others learn HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript! I enjoy being able to work with students and help them achieve their goals, while in turn solidifying my own knowledge of the subjects. I have been described as detail oriented and enjoy creating work that is both aesthetically pleasing and easy to use.
Some goals of mine in the development field include finding a career that leaves me both creatively stimulated and enthusiastic about future projects.
In my free time I enjoy building electric bikes, quadcopters (drones), and rebuilding old BMW motors. I love explore San Diego on my eBike, and to reduce my carbon footprint while communiting.

After completing an automotive technical program at Miramar College I had to opportunity to build and tune domestic vehicles. We built rally trucks for Baja races, personal cars for drag racing, to spec motor builds, custom forced induction applications, dynamometer tuning, suspension builds, and countless more. After a few years I transitioned into Subaru and Mitsubishi. As of today I specialize in imports, mostly BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

Yoga has help me grow and learn more about myself and the world we reside in. It has given me the tools to clear my mind, allow my body to age gracefully and access to spiritually without religious dogma. Without it I would not be the person I am today. I hope that when I teach yoga, it helps to bring more awareness and consciousness into the world.

Check out my custom 404 page.
A 404 page using jQuery, which is a JavaScript libary, and an attempt at some humor. jQuery made HTML manipulation, event handling and animation much easier to use for this project.
Here are my solutions to Twilio's educational game.
Since some of the exercises were difficult for me and I could only find a limited amount of info, I decided to post my own solutions.
My first eCommerce site built using WordPress and WooCommerce.
Used an agile approach to develop this eCommerce store. Worked with a few sprint cycles to obtain a minimum viable product (MVP) so the site would be up and running quickly. First focused on the core features and functions. Gathered user feedback once the store was running, continued to build features, debug and maintain. Adaptive and responsive, built with WordPress and the eCommerce plugin WooCommerce.

A little project created in angular using Create, Read, Update, Delete operations and a bit of fun with API's.
Forms packed with functionality!
