I've tried to list out most of my skills and hobbies below. However, being highly motivated and self-taught, I can pick up just about anything I put my mind to very quickly. This makes the following list just a subset of possibilities. Filter below searching for topics or tags.
I've received a lot of positive feedback over the years. Here's a few of my favorites.

Great job on taking the leadership role on the Black Ops team. It's usually the PM doing all the team leading and stuff, but [our PM] is stretched way too thin. It's cool to see you calling for team syncs and taking charge when he's not taking that role right now.
Before you were in the leadership group, felt like someone said every other week, "We really need to run this by Stuart."" Having you in that group should have happened way sooner, but glad you're finally there and making a big impact.

Big props to @stuart for this forward thinking code for our logger. We all know how tempting it is to just code to get the result...but big picture coding -- code that gets the results but also accounts scale and change -- that's the good stuff. Makes my inner nerd moochos happies :)

Hi Melissa,
I wanted to let you know that I would be happy to serve as a reference for any future prospective clients. Your product is fantastic, and I'm finding new ways to use it every day. After playing with the content modification extension, I think we may be able to save tens of thousands annually on split-testing software. But most importantly, the support has been phenomenal. Stuart and Darren are fantastic and this would have never gotten off the ground without them.
Please don't hesitate to call me if you have someone interested in a client's perspective of Tealium. I would gladly give your platform and team glowing reviews.
Have a great weekend,
Jeff

"Not to get all emotional on you, but I would like to take this opportunity to let you all know how much I appreciate you. It's very challenging to be a department of one, and this tagging migration initiative has been particularly daunting. I'm constantly amazed and humbled by your amazing client service...I couldn't do all this without you! Without your help and guidance, I would have pulled out all my hair and punched out all my computer monitors by now.
You guys are the best"

"I would really like to say thank you to you, Stuart and Darren, for all of your help getting us up and running as well as trouble shooting with us. You made it a much easier process for us."

"I really appreciate all the above and beyond support you've done for my clients as a result of my lack of bandwidth. You've been doing an extremely good job.
I've heard a ton of positive feedback about you from the team as well, everyone is really happy to be working with you."

"Hi James,
I have been working with Alicia Cafarelli and Stuart Roskelley on several Tealium TRU projects (mobile, registry, Poland, UK to name a few). I couldn't be more pleased with the customer care and support they have provided the Toysrus family thus far. They are very knowledgeable on the Tealium product and integration, helpful and super supportive. It is a pleasure working with them! Please forward my email to their supervisors.
Thanks,
Michelle"

"Hi Stuart,
May I start by saying how grateful I am to you and Kara for providing such an amazing level of service. Truly exceptional!

Kudos to Stuart for meeting an extremely tight timeline where the client requested all development work to be completed within a 2-week timeframe. Also, due to strict government regulations around the site, we had to produce a detailed audit report for each of their order flows which Stuart produced in a timely and efficient manner. And as always, being flexible with the Aussie time difference was very much appreciated :)
To put it simply, I have many interests and ideas. No matter what I am working on, I try to put my heart and best effort into it.
Starting as a small kid, my fascination with discovering, learning, and building started with a Sega Genesis and a handful of Legos. Through the years, that desire has developed and enabled me to learn about all kinds of topics. The most part of my knowledge and endeavors have been self-taught.
I've enjoyed spending time with my family and work diligently to support them. I also have enjoyed playing around with all kinds of computer items, tech items, and hands-on items. In addition, I've always had a fascination with cars and their engineering and hope to someday build my own from scratch.
My first real job was in high school with a startup company called TopTenReviews.com. I was one of those that helped grow the company to one of the largest review sites in the world, now known as Purch Group. This job opened my eyes to the joys of the web and what it could do.
Later, when I started college, I was hired to build in-house web applications for the Utah State University Research Foundation. This scoped most administration functions such as HR functions to managing multi-million dollar projects and proposals. This taught me more of the business functions of software engineering, complex databases, security, and team leadership.
In early 2013, I was introduced to web analytics and tag management. I knew the coding portion and quickly learned the importance and need for this hidden layer of the internet. Since that discovery, I've strived to help clients achieve their goals quickly and efficiently.
From building web applications to android apps to analytics tracking, I've always been in an architectural and entrepreneurial mindset. With the axioms above and a strong motivation to self-teach, projects have been implemented with new technologies and best practices to last for years to come. This also has resulted in many happy clients.
