Lead Creative

A versatile and hardworking individual with over ten years of educational, professional, and software development experience possessing strong, innovative, and wide ranging skills. I enjoy establishing a highly productive, dynamic, and efficient work environment that creates an enriching community and outstanding products. I believe analytical creativity and organizational adaptability augment success.

As a software developer and IT consultant I have developed a multitude of websites and database driven applications for
various clients. I am currently utilizing a MEAN software stack consisting of MongoDB, Express.js, and Angular 2 on top
of Node.js. I am also well versed in PHP, HTML 5, CSS 3, D3.js, Filemaker Pro, and SQL and NoSQL based database
design and implementation. I utilize Sass and Jade to template my client side projects. I developed and maintain a hybrid
Apache / Nginx server.

As Lead Creative at Apple I lead a team of over 25 individuals. Under my leadership my team was recognized as cutting edge in our industry and received the highest award possible at Apple. I designed, developed, and maintain a variety of web and database driven applications. I use Filemaker Pro combined with Angular.js and D3.js to create interconnected offline capable iOS and web applications to input and visualize trends in mobile repairs and repair case resolutions. I developed, host, and present monthly workshops on Full Stack web, Filemaker Pro, and iOS software development. These events bring together both prominent and new software developers in the Orange County area to discuss and collaborate on the latest programming workflows and techniques. I am currently developing an ongoing training series design to teach the fundamentals of programming using iOS and Swift.

As a Creative I created adaptive lesson plans that excelled in a rapidly changing environment. These lesson plans focused on the use and deployment of Apple technology in both homes and businesses. I designed a curriculum of group based classes directed by a clear learning path and statistical analysis of student time requests correlated with company availability. I utilized a web based survey system to actively shape my teaching techniques. I developed an employee initiative that used multiple OS X Servers and a distributed database to create a responsive scheduling system. I also assisted in the testing of a native iOS and web based company repair portal and product delivery system. I had a clear and positive interdepartmental presence amongst my peers which I utilized to assist their development. I was also heavily involved in the planning, execution, and facilitation of multi-day market and regional employee training. I continue to exude Apple’s “Think Different” mantra.

I designed and implemented all store point of sale and inventory tracking systems. I created and managed the restaurant’s advertising campaign, public relations, and website. I led team member acquisition and on boarding while also remaining among the top three in sales. I coordinated restaurant promotions and visually designed both the bar and restaurant menus. I developed a pioneering web based microsite music service that crowd sourced song selection and allowed users to share nightly playlists with friends.
