Hey, I'm Andy — a Full-Stack Developer.
I'm currently a Senior Computer Programmer at GST BOCES, looking for the right place to dig in long-term — building fast, dependable web apps, occasionally breaking and then fixing my own code in the process, and stirring up just enough chaos to keep things interesting.
Still open to freelance projects that are fun, weird, or a little too ambitious for common sense.

About Me
about_profile.log
·ONLINEI'm Andy — a full-stack developer with a preference for creative chaos. I've spent over a decade building web apps that (mostly) do what they're supposed to — and sometimes even more.
I love making things pretty just as much as I love automating boring shit — whether that's streamlining admin work, managing data, or making UI elements just nice enough for someone to ask, “Wait… you built that?”
When I'm not coding, I'm probably tinkering with my 3D printers, cutting vinyl decals, or taking my Kawasaki Ninja out for a spin. You might also find me losing Rocket League matches, wandering around Azeroth, or finding new ways to bring digital ideas into the real world. Basically — if it involves building cool shit, I'm all in.
Mini Case Studies

·ONLINESiteQuest - My own mobile app for campsite logging and discovery
Challenge
Last summer I struggled to track which campsites actually worked for hammock camping. I was driving site-to-site and dumping notes in my phone, which got messy fast.
Solution
I built a React Native app to quickly log campsite details in the field: site number, rating, hammock-friendly status, Starlink/cell signal, and notes. It also supports cloud save and non-campground ("stealth") locations. Site: sitequest.me • Demo: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5zfGbq5nhag
Impact
The app was approved for production by Google and now it is live for everyone on the planet with an Android phone. It will (hopefully) help hundreds of campers log and find better campsites, and I have a roadmap of new features to keep improving it.

·ONLINEAutomating several functions for State Trainings
Challenge
Admins and I were spending hours each week manually creating training accounts and building NYSED certification reports.
Solution
I wrote a ColdFusion automation tied to the PayPal API to create accounts and send personalized onboarding emails after payment. I also added a scheduled job to generate and email the NYSED report weekly.
Impact
Saved 5+ admin hours weekly and removed repetitive manual work. User completions started reaching the state in days instead of weeks.

·ONLINEDaily COVID Screening for Multiple School Districts
Challenge
When the pandemic hit, districts had no digital daily screening process for students or staff.
Solution
I built a ColdFusion app for daily parent-submitted screenings with real-time admin reporting. It was requested in August and fully deployed by September reopening.
Impact
It was adopted by multiple districts and screened thousands of students daily before being retired post-pandemic.

·ONLINESummer Camp Registration System
Challenge
Districts needed a clean online way for parents to browse and register for summer programs.
Solution
I built a ColdFusion app for parent registration, plus admin tools for teachers to manage rosters and district leaders to monitor trends across programs.
Impact
Parents had an easier registration flow, staff got practical admin tools, and districts gained usable planning data.

·ONLINEThe site you are looking at right now!
Challenge
I needed a better way to stand out for full-time roles than job boards and blind resume submissions.
Solution
I built a fast portfolio that highlights my skills, experience, and personality with skimmable stats, case studies, and a few fun easter eggs.
Impact
You tell me — but it gives hiring teams a clearer snapshot of what I build and how I think.
