Hi, my name is
I am a Software Developer who builds tools and systems that help people. I am also a professional musician, amateur home cook, and all-around hobbyist.
This website is for a local business owner, who converted 1990's Japanese Kei Truck into a mobile bar-for-hire service. It was fun to craft this site in line with this client's goals for a digital business card, suitable for "scrolling culture."
I built this custom website for an Austin, TX based music therapist.
I like to keep open communication with my clients so they can get exactly what they are looking for. This client had a clear vision and purpose for this site, and it was rewarding to bring it to life!
This project was not only a means to challenge myself with unfamiliar technologies but was also just an app I needed.
My wife and I used to use a shared Apple notes file which was unreliably up-to-date, didn't provide a system to organize lists by store, and lacked a UI built for in-store shopping.
I built this app to be user-friendly and intuitive, because lists are lists, and don't need to be complicated.
Have you ever gone to make your morning coffee to then realize you don't have enough beans for your typical brew? How many grams do you have? Great, but how many cups of water should you pour in? It's 6am - too early for math.
This is an application that solves this simple yet troubling problem of insufficient coffee for a full pot. I created this as a useful tool for my daily life and it has proven valuable for cooking, beer-making and of course, coffee!
"From the very top of this EP, it seems like it should have been included in the soundtrack for a movie like Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. The opening track, “Pizzaface,” paints the perfect picture for what's to come throughout the five-track EP: Morin's pleasant vocals, a smooth flow and a catchy chorus to tie it all together." - mxdown.com
“Automatic Sweetheart” starts off with quick and twangy minimalistic electric guitar work from Morin and melodic drumming that pops and bustles with the beat." -Valley Advocate
Midnight Snack asked me to join their group in 2013 and after recording this album, we toured up and down the east coast for 3 months, camping and street-performing along the way.
With this band, I got to experience life on the road with a band trying to make it, and gained valuable life experience with a close group of friends.
Before my shift into web development, I was VP of Day Services at a music-infused program that helps adults with intellectual disabilities build social, employment, and independence skills.
Through strong leadership, analytical problem-solving, and adaptability, I provided resources and created sustainable systems to ensure my 70+ clients and 30+ staff had tools for success.
Now I build web apps! My creative affinity for building tools drew me to writing code. Because I love working in methodical and incremental steps to achieve a greater goal, everything clicked when a close friend started teaching me the basics.
