Summary

I have been a software engineer for 10 years, in that time working in every size company from Amazon to startup. I know how to work at scale with complex, polished solutions, and I know how to buckle down and get things done.

I’ve worked with a number of different technologies throughout my career, including most recently React.js, Ruby on Rails, and PostgreSQL, and enjoy every opportunity to master something new.
