You saw the van. Here is the quick version.

I am Deke, and I am looking for paid work.

Websites, LEDs, e-bikes, listings, Adobe work and hard-to-find research.

Current occupation

Uber delivery is a gig for survival, not a living.

I am using delivery work to keep moving, but I am building my way back into practical paid work: websites, LED installs, e-bike troubleshooting, product research and listing services.

Before the pandemic I worked around beach-city properties, Airbnb support, customer service, cars and small-business problems. A scooter build led me into delivery work. Now the goal is to turn the tools, computer, LEDs and real experience I already have into steadier work.

Current project: this website

My skills, talents and work history in motion

This timeline shows the real website work happening behind ShyneTyme Works. Chuck helps me move faster, but the ideas, review, corrections and direction are mine. I have worked with HTML, WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Bootstrap, Adobe tools and business operations before; this site is the current proof-of-work version of that experience.

Preparing the read-only website history…

    What you may see from the road

    Me putting in work on getting back to work

    The e-bike, van, generator, computer and LED banner are all part of the same push. I use what I have to keep working, learning, repairing and showing people what I can do.

    The LED banner turns a few seconds at a stoplight into a chance for a customer, referral or useful connection. The goal is not sympathy; the goal is real work and a way forward.

    What I can do now

    Practical help for people and small businesses

    Web pages, Bootstrap cleanup, simple landing pages, LED planning, WLED/addressable LED help, e-bike troubleshooting, listing cleanup, product research, photo organization and sales copy are all work I can take on.

    Background in brief

    I have been responsible for the whole job before.

    I previously owned and operated a limo and town-car business, which meant handling customers, scheduling, sales, presentation, marketing and vehicle problems. I also have experience around property management, Airbnb operations and automotive work.

    I learned Photoshop, Illustrator, web work and technical troubleshooting because business owners often have to solve those problems themselves.

    Work, referrals and shares come first

    The best help is connecting me with somebody who needs what I can do.

    Message me about a project, share this page or send it to a small business that needs help. I am ready for straightforward paid work now.

    I know how this situation can look from the outside. It does not define my ability, my work ethic or what I am trying to build. I am trying to turn the tools and skills I already have into a stable path forward, then pay that help forward when I can.

    You found the weird little link on the LED banner. If it made you smile, one quick honk means “keep going.” If you have work or know somebody who does, hit the message button.
