Responsive web design is the industry standard for developing websites and web applications to be used in both desktop browsers and on mobile smart devices. By starting my designs with a "mobile first" approach, I can guarantee that the user experience will be consistent between these different devices and form factors. This is accomplished through the use of innovative static and dynamic HTML and CSS techniques, including using industry standard frameworks such as Bootstrap and Material Design, and the use of modern CSS layout techniques such as Flexbox and CSS Grid.
I have experience developing software for both Android and iOS devices. These applications use industry standard techniques, including through native compilations through first-party tools, as well as by using various hybrid compilations that blends both native and web technologies to build applications. I have experience using Android Studio/IntelliJ with both Java and Kotlin for native Android development and XCode with Swift and AppKit for iOS development. For hybrid apps I have used React Native and Google's Flutter environments.
Desktop development is a broad category and one that includes a significant variety of design principles and tooling. My primary toolchain for native compilations is Qt/C++ for cross-platform and native GNU/Linux development, XCode/Swift for macOS native apps, and Visual Studio/C# & C++ for Microsoft Windows desktop applications, but I believe the clients needs and wants dictate the toolset that I will ultimately use.

I began my software engineering career during the early beginnings of the "dot-com bubble" professionally developing desktop application software for regional banks throughout the midwest. Prior to this I began exploring how the Internet and the World Wide Web were architected by exploring early versions of the GNU/Linux operating system--all starting with a 1200 baud dial-up modem.
In 2000 I joined a large quick service restaurant company as an applications analyst developing and supporting desktop software use in the company's chain restaurants. These applications were used by the restaurants to manage cash, personnel, and inventory systems. I also designed and developed applications that were used by support personnel in the restaurant support center. It was here that I began designing and developing web applications for use by the restaurant support center for data management and integration with third-party technologies (i.e. Point-of-Sale systems, order bump systems, drive-thru timers, and many other systems in use by the restaurants).
In 2008 I became the webmaster for a tournament fishing organization in the southern United States. As the webmaster I was responsible for designing, updating, and managing the overall layout of the fishing tournament website. In addition to managing the tournament's website I also designed websites for other regional tournaments and non-profit organizations, such as community theatres.
After spending many years working as a self-educated software engineer and web designer I decided to return to higher education and earn my degree in computer sciences, and in 2011 went to work for a major university in Florida as a Systems Specialist designing computing solutions for use in the university's primary library. It was here that began exploring more web application development opportunities and began employing my skills for various non-profit use, including epidemiological investigations, Geographical Information Systems surveys, and green building projects.
