Professional development & continued learning.

A documented record of current technical study, completed professional certificates, deliberate skills refresh and applied development work built on an existing background in web development, design and digital production.

Professional development

Updating an existing technical foundation.

Current study combines formal coursework with hands-on development. Some subjects refresh technologies used in earlier professional or academic work; others expand into tools and workflows that have become more common in modern development environments.

Refreshed professional skills

Core web technologies and production practices are being revisited to bring syntax, standards, accessibility and implementation habits current.

  • Semantic HTML5 and modern forms
  • CSS, responsive layouts and maintainable styling
  • JavaScript and browser behavior
  • Git and GitHub workflows
  • Responsive front-end implementation
  • Accessibility and cross-device review
  • HTTP requests, CRUD patterns and API integration

Expanded / newer study

Current learning extends into modern application architecture, component-based development, databases and development environments.

  • React and component-based front-end development
  • TypeScript-oriented development
  • REST APIs and structured data handling
  • SQL and PostgreSQL
  • MongoDB
  • Docker and containerized local environments
  • Python and data-science development environments

Learning approach

Refresh, verify, apply and document.

Coursework is paired with practical implementation so that current study becomes usable development knowledge rather than remaining isolated course material.

01 · REFRESH

Review

Revisit syntax, standards, terminology and modern conventions around previously used technologies.

02 · VERIFY

Practice

Work directly with the technology through lessons, labs, reference exercises and small implementation tests.

03 · APPLY

Build

Move the material into capstones, portfolio projects, technical labs and active development environments.

04 · DOCUMENT

Retain

Maintain repositories, reference guides, working examples and implementation notes for continued professional use.

Current technical focus

Full-stack development, tooling and data environments.

Current study is organized around practical web-development and application workflows rather than isolated technologies.

01

Front-end systems

HTML, CSS, responsive interfaces, JavaScript, TypeScript, component-based development, accessibility and browser APIs.

02

Application & data integration

REST APIs, CRUD workflows, AJAX / HTTP requests, PHP cURL, structured data and the relationship between front-end and server-side systems.

03

Databases & environments

SQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Docker, Node/npm, Git/GitHub, Python environments and local development tooling.

Related completed study

UX, data, visual culture and professional development.

Additional completed coursework supports cross-disciplinary work in interface design, data-oriented development, visual communication and professional practice.

Academy of Mastery · Active Technical Study

Current developer re-entry and full-stack practice.

Ongoing study here focuses on practical development workflows, environment setup, technical refresh and hands-on labs that can be carried directly into professional work.

01

Web platform refresh

HTML5, forms, CSS Grid, responsive CSS, JavaScript, browser APIs, accessibility, regex, iframe/security attributes, Canvas and related modern web-platform features.

02

JavaScript ecosystem

JavaScript refresh, TypeScript orientation, React, Node/npm-based tooling and package-managed front-end workflows.

03

Requests & application integration

GET/POST/CRUD patterns, REST, AJAX, HTTP requests, PHP cURL, API-connected interfaces and data exchange between application layers.

04

Databases

SQL fundamentals, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, database command references and database usage patterns relevant to modern web applications.

05

Development environment

Git/GitHub, Homebrew, nvm, Node/npm, Python environments with uv, Docker and container-based local-development workflows.

06

Data-oriented development

Python data-science environments, structured data, database connections and development foundations for data analysis and visualization work.

Current labs

Development environments in active use.

Current practice includes local environments configured for web, database and data-oriented development rather than coursework alone.

Web / application environment

  • Git and GitHub source control
  • Homebrew package management
  • Node.js through nvm
  • npm package workflows
  • Responsive front-end development
  • API and application integration practice

Database / data environment

  • Docker-based local services
  • MongoDB development container
  • SQL / PostgreSQL study
  • Python environments using uv
  • Dedicated data-science lab environment
  • Database command and workflow references

Applied learning

Projects and working systems built from current study.

Learning projects remain separate from primary professional case studies while documenting current implementation ability, technical experimentation and continued development.

Continuing development

Learning remains connected to active work.

Current study is incorporated into development projects, technical references, portfolio work and local environments rather than treated as a separate academic exercise.

Current direction

  • Full-stack web-development refresh
  • Modern JavaScript and TypeScript workflows
  • React and component-based development
  • API and data-connected applications
  • SQL, PostgreSQL and MongoDB
  • Docker and current local-development practices

Technical archive

Experiments, reference guides, labs and implementation studies are maintained in the Developer Sandbox as an active record of current technical work.
