ABOUT ME
I love MUSIC...
I love writing, listening to and making all kinds of music. I can play anything with strings; like the Classical, Acoustic Steel-string, Electric 6 & 7 string guitars, Mandolin, Banjo, Piano, Violin, Viola, and Cello. I also play the acoustic and electric drums.
I am a MAKER...
I like to make things. From costumes for my kids to full-sized remote control Star Wars Astromech Droids (like R2-D2) made from 3D Printed parts, Arduino Micro-Controllers, RGB Leds, and working miniture smoke machines!
I am into TECH...
I have been into computers and literally anything tech related since I was 13 years old with our first family PC (A Gateway with Windows 95). Now I play PC games with my kids and create 3D models to later print in real life.
I am a NERD...
I am into what most would consider "nerdy" things, like Star Trek, Star Wars, Doctor Who, Lord of the Rings, Monty Python,
Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones, Mystery Science Theater 3000, and going to Comic-Cons.
I design, create, implement, and maintain multiple websites for AAP and its sister brands such as Carquest, Worldpac, Autopart International, TechNet, and DieHard. I design and code all marketing material for my.advancepro.com, carquestpro.com and the respective ordering sites as well as occasionally design email templates when needed. I use Figma to build site UI/UX redesigns, MS VSCode for coding, Workfront for projects, IBM WebSphere for custom HTML / CSS / Javascript modules, Salesforce for designing custom communities, scheduleable marketing campaigns, lightning web components, layouts, and themes, and Litmus for email template testing. I utilize a team of developers to test and push my code through different environments before being published to production, as well as a team of creatives to make any image assets I require for the design.

Byron Nelson
Senior Digital Producer Advance Auto Parts
"I highly recommend Jon Hamby as a Web Developer / Web Producer and can do guru. I was a lead to Jon and because he was so reliable, efficient and quick to ramp up I moved into a separate group and Jon updated the b2B site mostly on his own. He worked within a half setup salesforce environment with many restrictions and still produced excellent web pages and digital presentations for our sales people."
