Our Approach

🖥️ It Started with a TI-99/4A

At age 8 in the late 1970s, I taught myself to program on a Texas Instruments TI-99/4A - one of the first home computers. While other kids were playing outside, I was learning BASIC, debugging code, and creating my first programs. That early start gave me something invaluable: 45+ years of programming experience spanning from 8-bit computers to modern cloud platforms, from punch cards to AI-assisted development.

I didn't just witness the evolution of technology - I lived it, learned it, and mastered it through every major shift: personal computers, the internet boom, mobile revolution, and cloud computing.

🍕 The Pizza Restaurant Foundation

From age 8 to 18, I worked at my father's pizza restaurant, "Hungry Joe's". Starting as a kid washing dishes and eventually running the kitchen, I learned the values that still define how I build software today:

• Efficiency without cutting corners - Fast service, but never at the expense of quality
• Consistency matters - Every pizza should be as good as the last one
• The details make the difference - From ingredients to presentation, everything counts
• Customer relationships are everything - People still remember Hungry Joe's decades later
• Hard work and reliability - Show up, do the job right, take pride in your work

These New England work ethic values - the same ones my father taught me while making pizza - are exactly how I approach software development. Quality over speed. Integrity over shortcuts. Long-term relationships over quick transactions.

🥁 The Drumming Connection

I'm a drummer, and my biggest influence is John Bonham (Led Zeppelin). What does drumming have to do with software development? Everything.

Bonham's drumming wasn't about flash - it was about precision, timing, and the power of simplicity. The same principles apply to code. The best solutions aren't the most complex - they're the most elegant. Like a perfect drum fill, great code is about knowing exactly when to add complexity and when to keep it simple.

And then there's the power of three. Three interlocking circles. Three platforms (iOS, Android, Web). Three triplet drum patterns. It's my perfect number - it connects my musical background, my brand identity, and my development philosophy into one cohesive whole.

💼 53 Years Old. 45+ Years of Code.

I've been doing this since before most developers were born. I've seen programming languages come and go, frameworks rise and fall, and "revolutionary" ideas that turned out to be rebranded concepts from the 1980s.

This experience means I don't chase trends - I choose the right tool for your specific business problem. I've built systems that are still running decades later because they were architected with longevity in mind. I know which "best practices" are truly timeless and which are just this year's fashion.

Age in tech isn't a liability - it's wisdom. I bring decades of battle-tested experience combined with genuine passion for modern technologies. I'm still coding every day, still learning, still excited about solving problems with elegant software.

🎯 The TriApp Tech Standard

Every line of code I write will impress the most talented developers in the industry - that's my standard. Not because I'm trying to show off, but because I genuinely care about the craft. I write code that's maintainable, well-documented, and follows industry best practices because someone else will need to work with this code someday - maybe you, maybe your next developer, maybe me in six months.

I build applications that are fast, secure, and built to last. Not because it's required, but because that's the only way I know how to work. The pizza restaurant kid in me can't serve anything less than excellent.
