• Fuse Interactive - Lead Development Engineer

  October 2014 - present

  "If you love it set it free, If it comes back, it was meant to be." =) Back at Fuse Interactive in Laguna Beach. Sometimes it take some experience to realize how good we had it. Maybe it was serendipitous or maybe just dumb luck, but either way It's good to be back. Back working on fluid projects for great clients working with an experienced team of people ranging from Project Managers, Account Managers and a strong Dev Team. To top it all off, they still had my old chair!! I look forward to contributing what I've learned from my experience and help the team where it's needed.

• 2005

• DRI Management Systems, Inc. - Web Developer

  March 2000 - May 2005

  This is where I began my career as a web developer. Focusing on Defaulted Mortgage Servicing Software with a group of 6 Visual FoxPro engineers a and a determined President DRI was where I learned much of what I know today. Not only did I learn about software development, but I was also able to learn the intricacies of running a small software company. I was initially hired as an intern in the summer of the year 2000 working for my long time friend from high school who was the V.P. of Systems Engineering of the time. I started out building the companies client facing website and converted it into a custom CMS using PHP and MySQL so that I did not have to update the site for every request. I then set out to build their time management system for tracking project times and project categories. This was built using ASP and MSSQL 2000. Not only was I their in-house web developer, but I also developed the companies marketing campaign and single handedly travelled across the country with suitcases full of marketing material and a knowledge of our software. I set up the booths, travelled to different Mortgage Banking trade shows as well as joined the President and different Mortgage professional outings. This really was a great company. By the time I left the company had doubled in size. 5 years later, the company was sold to Fidelity and the president retired. I am very thankful for this opportunity and it really showed me the joys of working for a company which had the chemistry and the drive to develop for clients such as Chase, CitiGroup and World savings to name a few of their clients.

• 2003

• Chapman University

  Spring 1999 - Fall 2003

  Focused on web development technologies JSP / HTML / ActionScript / JavaScript. as well as Graphic Design. At the time there weren't any web development classes offered in the computer science department so I followed the web design path. I ended up with a Bachelors of Fine Arts Degree in Art, but took the Programming and Data Structures classes available. I was also a single Dad raising two young children at the time. It was among the toughest times, but the most rewarding times and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
