Bridging the gap between imagination and pixels, offering accessible products for the web and beyond.
Growing up in the bustling atmosphere of a family-run pizza kitchen, I was immersed in a world where precision,
creativity, and teamwork were paramount. Majoring in Computer Information Systems, I discovered how these principles could
be applied to technology. I specialize in a variety of
JavaScript Frameworks (React, Angular, Node), HTML, CSS, DynamoDB, and SQL.
I learned that no matter your path, your obstacles are made of the same stuff. The passion, determination, and resilience
needed to run a marathon are the same qualities that can propel you to land on the moon. Likewise, my appetite for success
in tech was fueled by the same love for cooking and creating I had already.
I was hooked.
In my free time, you can find me staying active, whipping up a storm in the kitchen or creating new things to continue
my journey of helping people better their lives.
So, welcome to my "about me." I'm Dylan, a pizza-loving, tech-savvy, passionate individual, always ready to share
my story and learn from yours. Whether you're here to collaborate, learn, or just say hello, I'm glad our paths have
crossed.
Let's do something great together.
DEC 2024 - PRESENT
Currently in my 2nd rotation with Churchill Downs Inc.'s ITLP Rotational Program. Busy learning, more to come!
JUN 2024 - DEC 2024
As part of the Churchill Downs IT Leadership Program (ITLP), I led the modernization of three critical handicapping tools that generate daily racing products for Brisnet.com. I transformed a legacy DOS-based system into a modern web application using Angular and AWS cloud services. The redesigned system automated data population, significantly reducing manual input requirements for handicappers who now focus solely on picks and analysis. By implementing a cloud-native architecture, I eliminated single points of failure and enabled secure, remote access while maintaining the tools' critical daily operations for professional handicappers.
FEB 2023 - JUN 2024
As part of a three-person IT team, I handled 40% of all IT requests, managed web-related requests for seven university departments, and developed a custom FileMaker solution for biannual commencement ceremonies that reduced the administrative workload by 50%. I also developed a faculty salary app, showcasing my versatility and technical acumen.
APR 2023 - PRESENT
I developed a new website with modern design and SEO integration. This increased organic search rankings by 60% in the first year. Analytics tools were implemented to track website performance and user engagement. I also created a new slogan to enhance brand identity and ethos.
