Freelance
I own and operate Inland Elite Hosting, where I provide managed website hosting and technical support for small-business and agency clients. I handle hosting infrastructure, website migrations, DNS and domain management, backups, security, uptime monitoring, troubleshooting, and ongoing website maintenance.
I also manage client communication, onboarding, billing coordination, vendor relationships, and technical support, which means balancing hands-on technical work with business operations and customer service. A major part of the role is translating technical issues into clear, practical guidance for non-technical clients and making sure their websites stay reliable, secure, and easy to maintain.

Middle Frontend Developer
Confidence: Low Generalist
Frontend and tooling generalist at a junior-to-middle level who builds pragmatic site scripts and small Node CLI tooling. The strongest proven skill is server-side automation and integrations, shown by the Cloudways uptime and resource-reporting scripts with API auth, SQLite persistence and Slack/Drive reporting (cloudways-uptime-checker/index.js and resources.js). There is limited evidence of component architecture, accessibility work, automated testing, or measured performance optimization in public code.
UI Component Architecture
2/10
How interface parts are built
Small, pragmatic DOM utilities and a minimal Vue project are present but there is no evidence of a deliberate component library, composition patterns, or a custom design system; many UI bits are plain scripts or vendor code.
Evidence
imbc-craft3/web/assets/js/scripts.js: mobile nav toggles, throttle and simple DOM helpers
odds-game/src/main.js: Vue app bootstrap (minimal)
odds-game/webpack.config.js: custom build configuration
Responsive & Cross-browser
2/10
Works on all screens and browsers
Basic responsive checks and normalized CSS exist but no advanced layout strategies or internationalization groundwork are visible.
Evidence
imbc-craft3/web/assets/js/scripts.js: runtime check using window.innerWidth (e.g. 992 breakpoint)
imbc-craft3/source/scss/base/_normalize.scss: normalization present
Performance Optimization
2/10
Speed of the interface
Minor manual optimizations (throttle) and a webpack build are present, but there is no measured performance work, bundle analysis, or advanced code-splitting evidence.
Evidence
imbc-craft3/web/assets/js/scripts.js: throttle implementation
odds-game/webpack.config.js: production build configuration and UglifyJsPlugin
Accessibility & Semantics
2/10
Usable for everyone
A11y is not actively addressed beyond basic semantics; custom widgets lack keyboard/focus management and there is no CI a11y tooling visible.
Evidence
imbc-craft3/web/assets/js/scripts.js: mobile nav and contact menu toggles without focus management
imbc-craft3/source/js/combined/site.js: site-level JS (no ARIA or focus handling patterns shown)
State Management & Data Flow
1/10
Managing data in the app
Frontend state is minimal and local; there is no evidence of disciplined async state management such as request cancellation, optimistic updates, or state machines in UI code.
Evidence
imbc-craft3/web/assets/js/scripts.js: simple scrollObject state and event handlers
UX & Visual Polish
2/10
Look and feel quality
Basic UX touches exist (nav active states, menu toggles), but loading/error/empty states, skeletons or undo patterns are not implemented for interactive flows.
Evidence
imbc-craft3/web/assets/js/scripts.js: adds/removes active/menu classes to reflect state

Recommendations
- Develop small to medium frontend UI features and migration tasks that replace jQuery bits with framework components and improve accessibility.
- Build CLI automation and reporting tools that integrate third-party APIs and persist lightweight state (cron-friendly Node scripts).
- Own build and release pipeline tasks such as webpack optimization, code-splitting, and adding bundle analysis for measurable performance gains.
- Implement unit and integration tests and add basic CI checks for linting and accessibility to increase reliability.

Middle Game Developer
Confidence: Medium Gameplay Engineer
Gameplay-focused Godot developer at an early-career middle level with a strength for small 2D mechanic implementations. The strongest proven skill is event-driven gameplay and safe object lifecycle handling demonstrated in Scenes/bucket.gd (timer-based despawn, tree_exited cleanup and Score integration). Public code does not show performance profiling, automated tests, custom shaders, deterministic simulation or networking.
Gameplay Systems & Mechanics
4/10
How game logic works
Clear, small-scale gameplay systems: spawn, scoring and safe object lifecycle management are implemented with signals and an autoloaded Score API, but mechanics are simple and not architected for large-scale complexity.
Evidence
ordinarybrian/godot-balldropper/Scenes/bucket.gd: timer-based despawn, tree_exited and timeout handlers that award Score
ordinarybrian/godot-balldropper/Scenes/level.gd: spawn_ball and input handling for adding balls
ordinarybrian/godot-balldropper/Scripts/Score.gd: autoloaded scoring API (add/spend/reset signatures)
Graphics & Rendering
1/10
Drawing game visuals
Minimal rendering work; uses built-in sprites and 2D nodes with no custom shaders or render pipeline changes.
Physics & Math
3/10
Game physics and math
Uses Godot physics primitives (RigidBody2D, CollisionPolygon2D) and collision signals correctly, but contains no custom integrators, spatial partitioning or deterministic simulation techniques.
Engine Proficiency
4/10
Skill with the game engine
Solid everyday Godot proficiency: autoload usage, exported variables, scene instancing and signal wiring are used intentionally; no custom editor tooling or advanced engine extensions are present.
Performance & Frame Budget
1/10
Keeping the game smooth
Little to no evidence of measured performance work or frame-budget optimizations; runtime timers and per-instance Timer nodes are used without profiling or pooling strategy.
Content Pipeline & Tooling
1/10
Tools for game content
Minimal content pipeline or tooling evidence; project configuration and scene files exist but there are no import processors, CI, or editor extensions.

Recommendations
- Use to implement small 2D gameplay prototypes and refine core mechanics in Godot.
- Assign UI and autoload-backed systems (score, upgrades, simple progression) where reliable signal-based logic is required.
- Have them add object pooling and run basic profiler-guided optimizations to improve hot-path performance.
- Develop editor-side tooling or scene-driven data patterns to deepen engine proficiency and scale the project.

Intern Backend Developer
Confidence: Medium Generalist
Junior web developer focused on frontend build tooling and basic PHP CMS integration. The strongest proven skill is build and tooling configuration as shown by craft3-webpack-boilerplate/webpack.config.js and the Vue router in webpack4-vue/src/router/index.js. There is no public evidence of backend system design, API or database migration work, production resilience patterns, or advanced security measures.
API Design

Data Layer & Database

Not evidenced in public code
Scalability & Performance
2/10
Handling load and speed
Frontend build-time and bundling choices are present (webpack, loaders, CSS extraction) but there is no backend scalability, caching, queuing or load-testing evidence.
Evidence
craft3-webpack-boilerplate/webpack.config.js: MiniCssExtractPlugin, file-loader and build rules
webpack4-vue/package.json: devDependencies for webpack tooling
System Architecture
2/10
Overall system structure
Basic module and application configuration for a PHP CMS is present showing simple modular boundaries, but there is no multi-service decomposition, inter-service contracts or graceful-degradation design.
Evidence
craft3-webpack-boilerplate/modules/Module.php: Module bootstrap and namespace setup
craft3-webpack-boilerplate/config/app.php: module registration
Security & Auth
1/10
Protecting data and access
Minimal security hygiene is visible via use of environment-driven secrets, but no auth flows, token lifecycle, input validation, or dependency audit evidence is present.
Evidence
craft3-webpack-boilerplate/config/general.php: securityKey loaded from getenv
craft3-webpack-boilerplate/web/index.php: conditional dotenv loading
Reliability & Observability
Stability and monitoring

Recommendations
- Build CMS-driven sites and small Craft CMS plugins that extend the module pattern shown in Module.php.
- Practice backend work that includes DB migrations, transaction boundaries and simple REST APIs to gain server-side depth.
- Add CI/CD and deployment automation to the build pipeline to move beyond local build tooling.
- Implement observability and reliability patterns such as structured logging, timeouts and retries in backend code.
