Hi, I'm Dillon!
Proud Indiana University alum with dual majors in MAS Web Development & Informatics—plus a CRT in Multi-Device Development to keep things extra nerdy. I geek out over programming, exploring new tech, and leveling up the projects I create. Based in St. Louis, I spend my days crafting sleek websites and apps that look as good as they perform!
I fuel my creativity through developer communities, family, and friends for inspiration. When I’m not deep in code, you’ll find me chasing finish lines (recent marathoner!), whipping up something delicious in the kitchen, or getting way too invested in sports.
A Man of Many Hats
After graduating from IUPUI, I jumped headfirst into the industry, building on everything I learned and expanding my skills as a professional web developer. Over the past three years, I’ve worn multiple hats—designing, coding, troubleshooting, and optimizing—proving that adaptability is just as important as technical expertise. In other words, I know how to juggle!
Web Design
Design has always been a great passion of mine, and I'm always learning about new ways to think and plan my projects.
Projects I enjoy designing range from social media content, logos, websites for both desktop and mobile, as well as apps.
Design tools:
Adobe Xd, Photoshop, Pencil and Notebook.
Front End
Front-end development is my favorite part of web development. It takes the unlimited creative freedom that design gives you, and lets you build that idea.
Languages:
HTML5, CSS3, Sass, JavaScript, TypeScript.
Libraries and Frameworks:
React and jQuery.
Back End
I picked up back end development to make me a more well rounded developer, and to make the jump to being full stack.
Languages and Tools:
PHP, Python, MySQL, REST APIs, Nodejs and AWS.
