Ottawa Web Developer
Hi, my name's Skyler. Two of the things I love the most are technology and building things. I've been in the construction industry for most of my career, but don't let that fool you - I love to code. I'm always learning new ways of simplifying the user experience to make the web more fluid and engaging.
Web development was more of a hobby at first - I started a deep dive with a custom Linux server and web hosting setup for my friends and me. Being a hobby, I never really pushed it and stuck with my go-to, which at the time was building houses and hard landscaping. I moved to Ottawa in 2012 and started roofing that spring to pay the bills. While roofing that summer, I applied to Algonquin College, not sure which path I wanted to take.
Algonquin College Graduate
The following year I graduated from the General Arts and Science program and realized graphic design was only a fraction of what I really wanted to do. I then took the Interactive Media Design program and was able to experience more in-depth courses and really build a solid foundation.
I was also able to focus more on my other interests as well, like photography, video, audio, motion graphics and project management. Since 2021, I've had three sons, bought a nice place in the country and I'm looking forward to a full time job on the web.
