Testimonials

DJ is one of the most talented web developers I have ever had the pleasure to work with. He is a great team player and steward to the developers around him. He is efficient and thorough to say the least, and his knowledge and desire to grow are amazing characteristics I have admired in him. Sometimes you manage a team of talented individuals assuming they will learn and grow under your supervision, only to later realize that you have benefitted just as much, if not more, during the process. DJ is such an individual.

I worked with DJ for over one year on numerous projects, and directly managed him for nearly half that time. DJ's work is outstanding, both technically and creatively speaking. DJ is innovative, passionate and self-motivated, bringing great ideas to the table on how to create outstanding user experiences. He stays well-informed on (and therefore is a great go-to-person for) the latest industry trends in web development. I highly recommend his work, and hope to work with him again in the future!

DJ has shown exceptional skill with PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript while working at Earth Sports. He has been easy to manage and wonderfully hard working. He was the first full-time developer added to my team, and in my opinion, the we couldn't have found a better first hire. DJ has grown into one of the development leaders now for about 6 months, and I'm just so proud of his advancements. To come from a single development shop to one with up to 7 programmers and showcase his skills, is truly a testiment to him.

Portfolio

My Works

Long Lake LTD

Site was built with relationships between Communities, Builders, Plans and Inventory. Pricing is based on these relationships and can very drastically. A custom plugin was built to handle the custom post types along with their relationships. One critical feature being able to have variable pricing based on these relationships. For example, even though the plans are the same between two communities, the prices for those plans is not. In the past, they had a page for each plan in a community, and would manually update those pages. To handle this in the new relationship system a custom database was created for pricing. A custom model was created for this database, as well as an admin tool to manage it and a custom shortcode for outputting prices. What used to take the client days to manage was reduced to minutes.
