Florida · Working with teams remotely
I’m a full stack developer who works across application code, APIs, AWS infrastructure, content systems, automation, and AI-assisted engineering to build and maintain production web systems.
My current role is Corporate DevOps Web Engineer at DEFENSEWERX. Before transferring in November 2025, I worked as a Full Stack Developer at SOFWERX in Tampa. I also take on carefully scoped development and consulting projects through Terry Hunt Dev.
My recent work focuses on applying large language models (LLMs) to software development and business workflows. I combine voice conversations, prompt engineering, and Figma mockups to develop ideas into visual plans. I also use ChatGPT, Codex, and other LLM tools to support engineering decisions, troubleshoot problems, and document the work, with an emphasis on protecting sensitive information and verifying results.
I talk through ideas with AI using voice, then refine the conversation into structured prompts describing screens, user journeys, and requirements. I use Figma to turn that thinking into mockups and visual project plans, working through the layout and workflow before development.
Discuss an idea or project planI use ChatGPT and Codex to investigate bugs, review code, prepare changes, and write useful regression tests. I check the implementation against the existing system and verify the result before release.
My Codex code review workflowI explore AI-assisted workflows for CI debugging, incident investigation, deployment preparation, and runbook writing. Sanitized examples, clear access boundaries, and reviewable steps help keep credentials and customer information out of prompts.
Using Codex in a DevOps workflowI use AI alongside Search Console, analytics, and Trello to investigate SEO issues, improve content, and turn findings into scoped tasks. I also document practical lessons about cloud architecture, CMS migrations, and maintaining production applications.
Read my development notesThe path into technology
I was born profoundly deaf. Early speech and computer tools helped me communicate, but they also gave me a lasting curiosity about how technology can remove barriers. At school I explored math, typing, and graphics on Commodore and Apple computers before moving into programming, web design, and Linux servers.
By high school I was experimenting with Visual Basic, QBasic, PHP, HTML, CSS, graphics software, game servers, and websites. Those projects taught me that the interface is only one part of a dependable system; hosting, data, security, maintenance, and the people operating it matter just as much.
That perspective still shapes my work. I like difficult projects where the useful answer requires understanding both the code and the operational context around it. Accessibility, clear communication, and maintainable handoffs are practical engineering requirements for me, not finishing touches.
My work has moved from business websites and managed hosting to full stack applications, cloud delivery, and DevOps-supported production systems.

Read project detailsA Next.js and Strapi platform for a Florida law firm with structured content, location pages, and maintainable publishing workflows.
Read project detailsA responsive React website organizing conservation information, product details, media, and clear contact paths.
Read project detailsThe goal is a useful result and a system that remains understandable after the immediate task is complete.
I start with the business goal, users, architecture, content, integrations, deployment process, and constraints already in place.
Scope, acceptance criteria, implementation stages, and technical tradeoffs are written down so decisions remain visible.
Testing, deployment checks, documentation, and next-step recommendations are part of the work rather than an afterthought.
