Will H Pacheco

About:

I am a versatile full stack web developer with 14 years of experience in development, design, front-end development, QA testing, and content management. Highly self-motivated with experience managing complex projects. My recent focus is on Drupal development, hobby C++ development, and Raspberry Pi projects.

I also run a small business, Pacheco Studios, where I develop and manage custom websites for small, local businesses. I built this website to re-imagine what a social media platform might look like as well as showcase my interests and my work. It is custom-built using WordPress, AngularJS, PHP, and Jquery. For the design, I wanted to have something simple, but interactive, with a hint of inspiration from video game UI.

Expertise:


Proficient programming & scripting experience using PHP, CSS3, javascript, jQuery, AngularJS, PHP, Python, C#.NET MVC3, some React, MySQL, and Object-Oriented Programming.
Proficiency building and configuring LAMP servers for web development and experience configuring SSO Authentication using AD and Kerberos.
Design competence using Adobe's Creative Cloud, especially Photoshop.
Responsive UI/UX design and development experience implementing principles using responsive and Agile iterative design practices.
Web content management and development experience using a variety of CMS solutions, including Sharepoint 2013, Ektron, WordPress, WooCommerce, Drupal, Moodle, and Concrete5.

Godzilla – Criterion Collection Blu Ray Covers

The Godzilla: Showa-Era Films, 1954-75 is a great collection by Criterion. It has some awesome artwork and some great, high-definition transfers of the first 15 Godzilla movies. The only problem, in my mind. Is that all the discs are housed in a large booklet with cardboard sleeves embedded in the page. As a guy with… View Article

3D-Printing: Jenn-Air Knobs

My parents have a beautiful Jenn-Air stovetop as part of their custom ‘hand-made’ kitchen. Some of the knobs were missing, but most had broken, or even partially melted. My mother complained that they broke frequently and were expensive to replace. It was, therefore, my duty to provide them with a suitable and cheap alternative if… View Article

For Sale! When We Learn to Listen to Trees

“For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers. I revere them when they live in tribes and families, in forests and groves. And even more I revere them when they stand alone. They are like lonely persons. Not like hermits who have stolen away out of some weakness, but like great, solitary men,… View Article

Unraid Server Fun

February 28, 2022

No new updates in some time, but as usual, that does not mean I have not been busy. Aside from attending karate classes with my kids, I had the stupid idea sometime in mid-2020 to completely replace Google for my IT and smart-home needs. While, there is an inkling of anti-establishment thinking in my decision,… View Article
