About me
I am passionate about software & security. I can help you get quick results without sacrificing quality.
David Palmer
Web Designer & Software Developer
I created my first website in high school and haven’t stopped. While I was working at GoDaddy.com I learned how to quickly troubleshoot and fix issues with websites. One of the most used software that I worked with is WordPress. I was the go to person for other employees that couldn’t fix the issues. By the time I finished working at GoDaddy.com I was the internal tech support (fixing servers, websites, DNS, Email, WordPress, Joomla, ftp, etc) for 4 customer service teams. Each team had roughly 15-20 people.
I was able to learn different softwares in depth, and WordPress was the choice of most customers. Because of this I was able to develop some internal tools that allowed me to diagnose and fix issues quickly to help minimized downtime.
I have since moved on to writing software for automated testing and custom Content Management Systems (CMS). I have experience with the following languages: PHP5 and PHP7, C# and .Net, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Java

Software Developement
Sometime you might need a more customized product than whats available, what options do you have then? You can try to use a product that doesn't quite fit your needs or you can have something custom made. You won't find a cookie cutter approach to making the software that you need.
There are 3 things that people are looking for when they have software made: Good quality that meets your requirements, a specific time frame of when things need to be completed, and a price that wont break the bank. I've heard many people say that you can't have all 3. I believe that you can and that you shouldn't sacrifice any of them. I will make sure that your requirements are met and I will give you realistic timelines on how long it will take and meet those timelines all while keep things within your budget.
Graphic Design
If you need it printed I can design it for you. Small items like stickers or business cards or large print items like indoor or outdoor banners. You're not limited to only print items. I can do logo creation, file conversion to vector format, or photography. Whatever your design need contact me to find out how I can help.
