Hi, I'm Jeff, a software engineer based in the Richmond, Virginia area with a passion for building secure, scalable, and efficient applications. Specializing in Ruby on Rails, DevOps, and cybersecurity, I bring extensive experience working with AWS and solving complex performance issues that often arise as applications grow. Over the years, my work has been shaped by close collaboration with stakeholders and project owners, ensuring that every detail is built exactly as envisioned. I pride myself on a strong attention to detail and have a deep background in user experience design, allowing me to develop solutions that are not only functional but also user-friendly. I spent six years running my own consultancy, working with clients across the country on a wide range of projects. From API development and front-end work to infrastructure design and implementation, I've handled it all. My journey into technology began when I was just five years old—thanks to my first computer, a TRS-80. From that moment on, I was hooked, and as the internet evolved, I dove into web design and application development, turning my passion into a lifelong career. When you work with me, you can expect clear communication, attention to detail, and a commitment to delivering high-quality, secure, and user-focused software.
