Drakeze/README.md

👋 Hi, I’m Anthony Shead

I’m a full-stack developer focused on building clean, maintainable systems and documenting my growth as an engineer.

My work centers around modern web applications, API integration, and long-term project design. I treat development as an evolving process, not just a collection of finished demos.


Where to Start

If you’re visiting this profile, the best place to start is my Portfolio and Organizations.

Featured Organizations

  • SorenTech
    A technology-focused organization exploring modern full-stack development, internal tooling, and scalable application design.
    🔗 Soren Lab

  • Earth Plus
    A sustainability-driven initiative connecting technology, structure, and long-term impact.
    🔗 Earth Plus

These organizations represent the long-term direction of my work more than any single repository.


Portfolio

My portfolio acts as a central hub for my projects and ongoing work.

It is designed to present clearly:

  • Real, deployed applications
  • Ongoing and planned projects
  • Clear documentation and intent
  • Incremental growth over time

From the portfolio, you can explore:

  • A cryptocurrency tracking application
  • A multi-platform blog platform
  • A planned analytics/dashboard project
  • A learning-focused Growth Vault

How I Approach Development

  • I prioritize structure and clarity over rushing features
  • I document intent, not just outcomes
  • I complete foundational systems before expanding the scope
  • I intentionally explore unfamiliar areas to avoid becoming locked into a single pattern or stack

Some repositories are intentionally minimal to reflect planning stages rather than unfinished work.


Learning & Growth

I actively document what I’m learning through a dedicated Growth Vault.

This space focuses on:

  • Skill progression over time
  • Technical experimentation
  • Notes, reflections, and emerging patterns
  • Trying new tools, approaches, and architectures

This is intentionally separated from production projects and exists to show how I think and grow, not just what I already know.


🎓 Certifications

IBM Full-Stack JavaScript Developer API First Development Google Cloud Foundations Coursera Certified

These certifications support my learning, but my primary focus remains applied, real-world development.


🤝 Community & Journey

I maintain a Patreon that documents my development journey.

It is not tied to a single company or product.
It exists to share:

  • Process
  • Lessons learned
  • Behind-the-scenes work
  • Ongoing growth as an engineer

The focus is on learning, iteration, and consistency, not promotion.


Final Note

This profile is intentionally curated to guide visitors toward the most relevant work first.

If you’re evaluating my experience, start with:

  1. Portfolio
  2. Organizations
  3. Individual projects

From there, the rest of the story becomes clear.

Thanks for stopping by.
