To put it simply: I am good with words. I’ve been on Upwork now for nearly a decade, and in that time, I’ve written and edited for a diverse range of clients and industries, helping to elevate all manner of writing. There is really nothing that I wouldn’t feel comfortable working on. My primary niches are website content and book edits. The former primarily involves deep edits, but I’m no stranger to writing blog posts, either—about any number of topics. That includes blog posts, white papers, website content, and anything in between. Next to that, I’m no stranger to book edits, where I ensure that each word and sentence is as clear, concise, and error-free as possible, and that everything maintains consistency from beginning to end. This includes character development for fiction novels, or the consistency of ideas and concepts in non-fiction. In recent years, I’ve also become familiar with the world of AI and can humanize any manner of AI-generated writing if it so happens that you’re looking to give something you’ve generated with ChatGPT a more human touch. This can include just small writes and edits to help remove the robotic writing style of AI, as well as more comprehensive rewrites to ensure that the writing passes an AI detector. Overall, I have a great attention to detail and a masterful grasp of the English language. I’m able to take even the most awkwardly phrased sentences and make them flow like water. So, if you need another pair of eyes for your writing, I’ve got you covered.

As an engineering student, it's been difficult for me to communicate my more artistic side and find employment in those areas. All of my 'on paper' experience has dealt with customer service and CAD but what isn't seen are my continually growing skills in photography, videography and creative 3D modeling that I've learned without employment. I like to think of my skills as all fairly related but it's been hard to break the engineering versus artistic divide when seeking work. My goal here is to gain that experience in all the areas I can and further build my creative portfolio.

I started my career working at the James Madison University Media Lab engineering digital platforms for university departments and the Mine Action Group whose sole goal is to defuse/destroy leftover mines in war torn countries. Following graduation, I joined Capital One Financial. During my eight-year tenure, I architected internal web applications and high-traffic customer-facing pages, navigating the transition from a then high-growth startup to a Fortune 500 powerhouse it is today. This experience sharpened my business acumen and taught me to build scalable solutions within complex corporate ecosystems. Since transitioning to full-time freelancer over a decade ago, I have delivered hundreds of successful projects. I specialize in transforming complex requirements into high-performance digital products. My technical evolution spans: - Architecting robust PHP/MySQL and Python applications - Engineering custom WordPress ecosystems - Translating sophisticated designs into pixel-perfect, responsive, and accessible HTML5/CSS3/JS code. I bridge the gap between vision and reality. Whether you have a high-fidelity mockup in Figma, Adobe XD, or Sketch, I convert your concepts into seamless static sites, immersive parallax landing pages, or interactive D3.js data visualizations. Let’s collaborate to build something exceptional.
