PHP with John P.

Growing up, I've been known as a serial dabbler. Like a butterfly, I would flit from one hobby to another in pursuit of the interesting. Glassblowing, blacksmithing, woodworking, creating minefields out of scattered Legos. You name it, I may have already tried it. I got into software development around 2014 and fell in love since. I began working, nestled in a small room with no windows and wondered if there was something better. I then joined a local advertising agency as a Web Developer. Not too long after I began, I took on more responsibility as the technical advisory and "Chief Executive of Awesome *blank*". I advised clients on their digital projects and tinkered with technology for marketing use. My next step in this grand journey called Life took me to yet another agency. A research, strategy and advertising organization. While my work was primarily in Drupal, I learned quite a bit about understanding your customers, employees and business needs, a critical component in rebranding efforts and new initiatives. I witnessed the transformation of an aging and out of touch business into a fresh and modern brand serving its customer with a ferocity unheard of in the insurance industry. "Optimization without measurement is by definition, premature." — Unknown My main focus in my career has been about making practical use of the technology we have at our fingertips. I've connected to hundreds of different software products and APIs for integration work. I've dealt with some of the most insane data sources you've ever seen. If you want to build a good foundation in software development, nothing would please me more than being able to help you out.
