About Chris

Web Development became an interest of mine back in highschool when I started teaching myself through some resources on the web. Eventually, I made a very basic website for my highschool basketball team. That's the website that pretty much got me hooked, even though it was terrible! After highschool I got my Associates from Full Sail and after a year went back for my Bachelors in Computer Science. While there I learned a lot more about proper HMTL, CSS and JavaScript as well as a little PHP. In the years since, I have worked with ASP.NET, multiple CMS' like WordPress, Drupal, and Strapi, and have more recently been working in projects with React, Node, and various APIs. I've also been doing a little Data Analysis and Business Intelligence type work over the past several years. Visualizing data has been a fascination of mine ever since Infographics swarmed the internet. Taking that to the next level to build interactive dashboards has been a lot of fun, and I look forward to expanding my skillset!

Army Futures Command - AFC

The AFC website was built as a headless CMS using Strapi using Next.js and React. Due to an Army regulation compliance issue, the website was taken offline in Feb 2023. The website can still be seen in the Way Back Machine at the link below. I was part of a team and my position primarily focused on the front end design and content. Eventually, I took over 90% of the website duties, including the majority of backend work.

Year in Review 2021 - AFC

The Year in Review was my chance to try new things and make a product that really shined. Our designer did everything in Adobe XD and I converted the design into the page you see. Since the website is gone, I have extracted that page and rebuilt it as best as I can on my portfolio here. That means the header and footer looks correct, but the links don't go anywhere.

Year in Review 2022 - AFC

The Year in Review for 2022 was rushed and never "finished" before the AFC website went offline. Because of that, it's not fully optimized and there are a few things that could be polished up. I fixed up most of the major issues before uploading it here. As it was for the 2021 page, this one also exists outside the main website, so the header/footer links don't work.
