Thanks for Visiting!

I hope you like my website! It's been my labor of love (and frustration, assuredly) for over 14 years! While my web development skills have improved immensely over the years, there are certainly still fragments of my very first pages and scripts EVERYWHERE. So if you take away one thing from visiting my website, it's that it's a constant work in progress! While I've been spending the last week (particularly) bringing much-needed modern technologies to my website, there are still some kinks to work out from the original design (before smart phones were the primary target audience!) I know, I know; I'm dating myself when I say my website predates responsive layout design. But I only admit that because I am actively working on bringing a more modern experience to you!

Within the last few weeks, I have upgraded the backend technology on this site from PHP5 to PHP8, integrated SCM with self-hosted Git for version control, built deployment pipelines with static analysis, and revamped EVERYTHING on the site with Bootstrap v5 for responsive and modern design. There are still plenty of items on my todo list, so please be patient and feel free to keep checking back while I make this website better!

Just today, I finally integrated reCAPTCHA v3 on my contact form to combat spam so that the messaging feature is actually useful and less of a silly gimmick mostly used by bots and spammers. So feel free to send me a message and I'll actually read it and be happy to get back to you!
