My Logo Explained

Every great logo has a story. Here's mine!

So in fifth grade, we learned that some companies hide secret stuff in their logos. Like FedEx has this sneaky arrow that I still can't unsee. Mind = blown.

My logo? Well, it's not exactly hiding the secrets of the universe. It's literally just a cat because I'm obsessed with cats and I have zero shame about it. I have three cats, one dog, and I'm basically a Disney princess at this point.

But here's the plot twist: if you squint really hard (or just have decent eyesight), there's a hidden P in there. That's for Parker - if you couldn't tell.

Is it the most profound logo ever? Absolutely not. Does it make me happy every time I see it? Absolutely! Sometimes the best designs are just... fun.

My Story

I'm Parker, a full-stack developer who's passionate about creating digital experiences that actually matter. I recently graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in Graphic Information Technology, where I discovered my love for turning ideas into beautiful, functional websites.

During my senior year, I had the incredible opportunity to intern at Global Tech, working with real clients to design and develop web solutions. That experience taught me that the best code isn't just technically sound—it's built with empathy, creativity, and a deep understanding of the human experience.

Now I'm a front-end developer at Domain Driven Solutions, where I build enterprise tools, develop AI-powered applications, and work extensively with APIs. I'm constantly learning and growing, especially in backend development where I'm pushing myself to become more well-rounded.

I live in Waukee, Iowa with my three cats (Spooky, Noodle, and Toast) and my dog Prismo. When I'm not coding, you'll find me hanging out with my pets, exploring new technologies, or working on personal projects that challenge me.

What drives me is the belief that technology should make life better, not more complicated. I want to build things that people actually enjoy using—websites that feel intuitive, applications that solve real problems, and digital experiences that bring a little joy to someone's day.

TL;DR

Full-stack developer from Iowa who loves building things that matter. Frontend expert, backend beginner, pet parent, and believer that good code should make life better, not more complicated.

What I Care About

The values and principles that guide my work and shape the experiences I create.

Good code

Code should be easy to read and even easier to build on. I like keeping things clean, efficient, and solid for the long run.

Good design

If it doesn't feel good to use, it's not done yet. I build for real people, not just screens.

Good teamwork

I like working with people who are open, honest, and curious. Great stuff happens when everyone brings their own strengths to the table.

Real results

At the end of the day, I want the stuff I build to work well and actually help someone — not just look cool.

Happy people

Let's be real — if you don't like your website, I failed as a designer and developer. I'm here to help you love it.

Continuous learning

Technology moves fast, and I love keeping up. I'm always exploring new tools, frameworks, and approaches to stay sharp and bring fresh ideas to every project.
