North Jersey based Full-Stack Web Developer with 8+ years of experience. I love technology of all sorts and the ability to be creative & problem solve each and every day is one of those thrills that sometime cannot be explained. Addicted to learning new things and pushing the boundaries with new technology, I am a determined developer that doesn’t let a task of any size deter me. When i’m not in front of a computer, I enjoy playing sports with my wife & son and taking my dogs Cooper & Bailey on hikes and playing as many sports as possible to stay active.

Projects

Sleepme

Fully headless architectural site using Nuxt/Vue for the Front-End framework, Strapi CMS for the API content, and finally using Shopify’s Storefront GraphQL API to handle all of the e-commerce functionality to create a seamless experience.

Application/Website was a complete rebrand from the ground up and focused on site speed, conversion optimization and enhancing the overall user experience when completing purchases.

Video Panorama Player

This was an extremely fun package to build for the Next Level Video team. The NLV team offers sport video footage with self recording cameras that record games with multiple lenses at a wide angle. The issue was that in some scenarios they needed to allow customers to watch the wide angle footage and also record clips directly in the browser of the panoramic version of the video.

What I crafted up for them is a simple Vue instance that uses the Fabric.js package to handle moving around a video file inside of a restricted HTML Canvas, and then leveraging the Media Recorder browser API, customers can now zoom, drag the video around inside of the video player and then record up 60 second clips, all in real time.

Because the NLV website is not a Single Page Application, I needed to use Vue in such a way that they could simply drop the CDN link for Vue and Fabric and simply place the end result code into any page they needed.

Magic Mirror

Magic Mirrors are a craze that I have been attached to lately. Who doesn’t get intrigued by them? I had been looking at so many different DIY projects to make them but always noticed one huge thing about them that people just didn’t really care about, interacting with it! So I figured I will just make my own. So I did, and wrote my own Spotify integration on it using the Spotify API.

Spotify Web Playback SDK & Web API
- Web Playback allows for the Raspberry Pi to show up as an option to play the music through it
- Web API handles all of the authentication tokens as well as letting me use certain API endpoints such as the search functionality and using the play, pause, next, and previous controls
VueJS for the front-end
Node.js using Express on the server side so I can use the Web API
All of this is bundled into a production single page application in Vue (I am working on converting this into an Electron app)
32″ TV, Infrared Touch Frame, Raspberry PI for the hardware.

NLV Media Convert

Developed a useful internal tool for the team at Next Level Video using Vue for the Single Page App, Express for the API server, and ultimately using AWS’ Media Transcoding Service API.

The tool dynamically scans the NLV AWS accounts’ S3 buckets and allows them to pick a group of video files and then choose an output destination anywhere in there S3 account for the AWS Transcoding API to compress the files together and optimize footage.

The tool was extremely successful in optimizing internal processes where NLV could now process tournament game footage in just a couple of hours, when it used to take up to 5 days to process one tournament manually on their own computers.

React Flix

Simple React app that consumes The Movie Database API. Uses the Material UI component library for React. Axios HTTP package is whats used for the AJAX calls. Movie/TV posters when clicked, will play a YouTube trailer if one exists.
