Hello once again— if you found your way here, thank you for reading… In this blog post, we will discuss the challenges Entrepreneurs, Startups, and Innovators face. One of the major obstacles they encounter is not only coming up with a great idea but also ensuring that idea meets a genuine and practical market need—meaning, do customers want your product? This challenge is something that I can relate to, as I have always found myself with various product/service ideas and concepts yet constantly doubting their practicality from a customer’s perspective. It’s a common problem that many Entrepreneurs, Startups, and Innovators...

VueJS Auto Rendor on data update
In the video, I explain how to auto-update components when data changes. The video is an unstructured ramble of me developing. I do this often which I call development journey notes. It’s good to use as a reference in the future.

In an IT organization, you have Layered Security which is layers of controls within your system. Think of it as an onion with multiple layers. At each layer, the controls prevent attackers from getting to the core. Building an application, you will also need these same types of layers of control. As a Web Application developer, I build layers of controls into applications, for example; the development application layers for security I would include are: The end-user layer: Write front-end code JS to sanitize strings and data, and validation where needed Adding Authentication using Multi Factor-Auth (MFA) Back-end controller authenitcaiton...

I wanted to document how I could map the HTTP request reference to the actual class/methods. The Gmail Developers API gives you the HTTP request; however, the documentation in Google’s API PHP docs doesn’t do enough to tell you which request maps to what file class/methods. It takes a bit of reading and fumbling through the docs to get a good understanding.

Overview: LeadShield was founded in 2019, because there were no automated solutions on the market that made it simple and painless to clean your email list in near real-time, without having to be a programmer or hiring a very expensive one. The Story Behind This App The idea behind LeadShield actually came from Brandon Shelton, which he pitched to me, and I was blown away that there wasn’t already a tool(s) on the market that solved this issue. At the time, Brandon was in Marketing/Sales working with other SaaS companies. He needed a way to clean his email campaign list...
