Introduce yourself

Introduce yourself:

Hi, I’m Dillon
a construction professional, web app builder, and developer with experience in Python, Shopify, and website development. I’m excited to join the community. I’m currently at a stage where I’m focused on moving from local development to actually getting my work out into the world. I’m looking forward to connecting with others and learning the best practices for managing projects as they grow.

I enjoy building practical tools that solve real problems, including construction estimating systems, business spreadsheets, e-commerce websites, and applications for bicycle and e-bike businesses. My background also includes electronics, PLC programming, robotics, project management, and hands-on construction work.

I believe the best technology is practical, easy to use, and designed to help people work more efficiently.

Current interests include

• Python and web application development
• Shopify theme customization and e-commerce
• Excel automation and business templates
• Construction estimating and project-management tools
• Bicycle and e-bike technology
• CAD, electronics, PLCs, and automation

Where are you in your GitHub journey?
Building my first project

I am currently focused on developing applications and automation scripts designed to streamline complex tasks, such as construction job estimation and data analysis. My objective is to assist individuals who may lack familiarity with specific technical formulas or industry terminology. By automating workflows—such as reducing three-hour manual processes to just ten minutes—and integrating these solutions with online platforms, I aim to significantly enhance productivity and accessibility for end-users.

What technical skills or projects are you working on?

Hello! I am currently learning how to build and deploy servers. I am primarily working on the following project:
Stock Options Analyzer App.
I look forward to connecting with the community and exploring new technical opportunities.

Got a question for us? (optional)

What technical skills or projects are you working on?
I’m currently focusing on web development fundamentals. I am working on a personal project that I'm hoping to polish and share, but I’m still learning the ropes regarding the transition from local code to a live site.

Got a question for us?
I have two main questions that I’d love to get the community's perspective on:

1. What is the most effective workflow for taking an idea from local development and deploying it to the public?
2. What are the best practices for setting up and organizing your repositories to ensure they are maintainable and easy for others to navigate?
