Space Journey Website
</h3>
<p>
A unique concept where customers could launch class rings and
personal mementos into space, then receive a certificate of
flight, high-resolution photos, a commemorative plaque, and
more. I led the web development for this one-of-a-kind
experience—though ultimately shelved due to market viability,
it was an exciting exploration of e-commerce meets aerospace.

I built this tool to translate and subtitle videos—mainly
because I’m learning Spanish and thought it’d be a fun way to
turn any video into a learning resource. It also gave me a
chance to dive back into Python and experiment with some AI
and machine learning techniques. A mix of curiosity, learning,
and just building something useful.

Hey there 👋🏾 I'm Drew, a senior software engineer with over a
decade of experience building full-stack applications,
crafting intuitive UI/UX, and creating fast, scalable web
experiences. I specialize in React, TypeScript, Laravel and
currently brushing up on Python.
</p>
<p>
I've worked across a wide range of technologies and
industries, integrating with countless systems over the years.
Whether it's frontend or backend, I focus on solving real
problems in ways that are easy, maintain, and scale. My
philosophy is simple: help users accomplish what they came to
do — with as little friction as possible.
</p>
<p>
In past roles, I've led frontend teams, improved developer
workflows, and helped ship features faster by refining the
handoff between design and engineering. I'm currently looking
for new opportunities after a recent layoff and using the
downtime to build an open-source toolkit for developers — full
of everyday utilities like tech guides, data analyzers, and
reference tools I wish I'd had earlier in my career.
</p>
<p>
Outside of work, I'm working on a few passion projects — one
to help organize and preserve older photo/video memories left
by my grandparents, another to assist with learning
songwriting and musical structure, and a platform to help
student pilots learn more effectively.
</p>
<p>
I'm also into playing rock & roll on guitar, baking, flying,
and long-range precision shooting.
</p>
<p>I'm currently located in Houston, Texas.</p>

Throughout my experience, I have met very few with such
a vast array of knowledge and skills as Mr. Drew, [he]
continues to astound me with how quickly he can learn
and apply new skills. In addition to his outstanding
work ethic in the classroom, he has also been heavily
involved in promoting the Flight Program at Texas
Southern University, assisting with redesigning the
Aviation Department website, making recruitment
brochures/flyers, and being executive producer of the
TSU's flight training videos.
