Computer Hardware
Basic Programming using Scratch and code.org
Basic Web Design
Robotics with LEGO Mindstorms
3D printing
Interactive story-telling with Twine

I run the Rocky River United Methodist Church website, which includes keeping information up to date and consistent. I have also been involved in a port to a completely new CMS and part of other website update projects. In keeping the website up to date, I receive information from church employees and the congregation, determine what revisions need made, and make sure they are uniformly applied.

I volunteered my development abilities to create the customer web application. I have continued to maintain the application and add functionality.

When Twice Blessed Free Store was opened by Rocky River United Methodist Church, the church determined it wanted to make sure the entire customer process was electronic, unlike many other free stores. I volunteered my development abilities to create the customer web application. I have continued to maintain the application and add functionality. Using the application, the Free Store volunteers and director can create new customers, check in and check out customers, check in and check out volunteers, add users and roles for the system, add shopping categories along with limits per visit or per month, and report on a number of data points with a table and/or graph.

All of the code is open-sourced with the MIT license here (https://github.com/jlutz777/FreeStore). The github repository gives the technical details. Show less

My wife is the Upward director for Rocky River United Methodist Church, so I am essentially her assistant. I do preparation work between game days, I set up and tear down during game day, I coach, and I referee all day. Sports ministry, especially with children, is a passion of mine, and Upward is a great way to do it.
