About Me

I am a technology management specialist who excels at leading teams to provide timely and complete solutions tailored to specific business needs and goals. I pride myself in cultivating high level business to business relationships and finding lucrative avenues to grow and benefits all parties involved. After spending nearly a decade working in business management and running a multimillion dollar retail store, I know what truly drives successful businesses, and how to find real world solutions in today’s work environments. Since then, I've spent several years learning the latest technologies employed in web and software development with a strong full stack skillset as well as leading development teams and interacting with customers to find solutions that work for them with extremely fast turnaround times.

I'm also a professional musician who has been performing and working around the Southeast for 20+ years. My experience as a creative artist brings a unique eye and approach to composing and arranging solutions as well as the ability to pivot and be flexible when change is present.

My 2 current musical projects include The Grateful Brothers, a tribute to The Allman Brothers Band and The Grateful Dead and Cash Machine an original funk-rock band. You can listen to our debut album here. I handle management, merch, musical direction, booking, social media, and maintain the website for The Grateful Brothers.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in audio technology and a minor in business administration from Clemson University and a Carolina Code School Immersive 12 Week Full Stack Certificate.

I am currently the Director of Product at Medprocure LLC, leading our development teams working on several different proprietary software solutions, as well as a lead software developer at Quattlebaum Servcies Corp. I specialize in many technologies and systems such as PHP, Laravel, React, Python, Django, HTML, CSS, Azure DevOps, Product Management, Native Mobile Apps, Modern Reposonsive Web Design, Apache web server, Linux sys-admin, MySql database implementation and management, GitHub, ClickUp, GitLab, Heroku, API development and integrations, Project Planng & Management, long-term business success planning, interviewing, hiring, and high level business to business relationships and communications.
