Let's Grow Technology Together
About Me
"Hi, my name is David and I am a Full Stack Developer located in Towson, MD. We could be responsible for the next great advancement in technology, or just make what we have even better. Let's build something together!"
What I find most exciting about development is the infinite possibilities it allows for. You could replant a forest, reinvent the way we do business, or reduce costs in an already mature market. Good code can help you do it all.
When you combine efficient code in the back, and a great user interface up front, your app might just change the world.
Every area of technology is advancing, and humanity is advancing with it. The way we engage with each other and the world around us is fundamentally changing. As developers we can help impact that change.
This is what excites me and why I am so passionate about development. Want to make an impact on the world? Let’s do it together!

Mr. TeaSeeks
Sometimes when contemplating the infinite cosmos, or thinking about my next cup of tea, I find myself questioning what I really want. Do I want a cup of tea that will help wake me up? One that lulls me to sleep? Perhaps even something strong and bitter!
With so many types of tea to choose from, it is hard to know which of these is right, even when I do know what I want!
That is where Mr. TeaSeeks comes in. By utilizing HTML5, CSS3, Javascript, React, Node, Express, PostgreSQL, and RestfulAPI principles we create a full stack app that allows tea lovers to simply indicate what type of tea they are looking for (something to calm their nerves, or maybe something to help wake them up), and Mr. TeaSeeks will tell them the perfect type of tea. Is it a nice black Oolong, the perfect Pu-erh, or a spearmint infused blend? Mr. TeaSeeks knows, and now you can too!
I Can't Decide
"I Can't Decide!" An app to help you choose! Can't decide what to eat tonight? What plate to make or even what type of cuisine sounds best? This app is for you. "I Can't Decide!" helps choose from over 20+ types of cuisine on your behalf and then utilizes the Spoonacular API to select from more than 350,000+ delicious recipes that you can cook in the comfort of your own home.
This app helps bring delicious and new creations to life on your kitchen table, without having to go through the trials of making the decision yourself. Something sound yummy tonight but don’t know what that is? Stop stressing and let "I Can't Decide!" do the work for you!
I Can’t Decide was built using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Node, and React.
True You
There comes a time in all our lives where we question
Is this really who I am?
Sometimes, the answer we find inside ourselves raises a need.
A need for change.
Sometimes a small change. Sometimes a large change.
Sometimes that change means finding a new name
True You. Find yourself. Find Your Name.
True You is a full stack app that utilizes Javascript, React, Express, Node, HTML5, CSS3, and PostgreSQL to create a unique user experience. It allows anyone to input some basic criteria, and then be provided with names that meet that criteria from a database of over 2000+ of the most popular names from the last century. This can help people find a name that matches their true self, and then provides them with some insight into how they might test seeing if this name is right for them.
