I've been working on a bunch of different projects: a new addressbook plugin for Spree, a GraphQL powered JSON API and some new React components to create customizable and embeddable website widgets.

Been working on several PHP projects, (Drupal and WordPress) where I cut my teeth as a developer back in the day. 😃

I successfully hired my replacement.

Doing some UAT on a Salesforce integration project and also updating an old/neglected open source Rails gem so that it works with current version of Ruby.

Always an exciting and nerve-wracking time when sending out large campaigns. Trying to meter everything out so that staff and servers don't get overwhelmed by incoming orders. A good problem to have...

Just had an interesting call with a BD consultant based in Sweden. Also getting my feet wet working with a few new AI libraries to help out a non-profit with one of their projects.

Acadicus demos and onboarding new customers.

Brushing up on my Photoshop skills doing some masks on product shots for more flexible promo assets.

About to hop on a conference call between The Gambia, Samoa and California. Remote collaboration at its finest!

2021 Planning and Organization!

October and November have been crazy busy. I was fortunate to sign three new clients and grateful for the additional work during these crazy times.

Working on some personal branding. worldzmine.com

Another week, another new client and project! Been super fortunate during these crazy times. Holiday season is coming up and that means lots of email campaigns. I sent one the other day that might have been a record for concurrent users on the site (300+). Thankfully, the web servers didn't melt :)

Excited to be starting a new project with a new client! Details coming soon. It's been super busy all summer but it makes the time fly. I can't believe it's October already!

Working with old school SOAP XML API calls. Creating a piece of middleware for a SAAS application to fill in some gaps in functionality. It’s days like this that I’m grateful for JSON APIs. 😀

I'm working on a custom mini-templating language to streamline proposal writing and automate contract agreements. I started a similar project years ago but ran into technical hurdles. Now porting over my old code from PHP to Ruby and it seems to be making a difference :) I find it surprising how often I switch between the two on personal projects because some things are just easier in that language.
