INTERTIDALIST

The idea behind Intertidalist is that the services I offer exist in the "intertidal zone" where business and technology meet. I help clients navigate the currents of technology to enhance the landscape of business innovation. Sea and land, geek and user, tech and business, development and management... I first ventured into web development by building mapping applications that explored tourism, coastal management, and invasive species in the Great Lakes region. I soon discovered that GIS became a much more powerful tool when coupled with the development of custom applications and I shifted my focus toward GIS application development... I enjoyed the challenge of learning to program and sought to expand my skill set. I became a full time web developer to hone additional skills outside the realm of GIS, eventually adding some moonlighting contract work, and finally becoming a full-time independent web application development contractor in 2013.
