About

I have been developing modern software solutions for the last decade on multiple platforms using a wide variety of technologies. Mentoring and leadership play a huge part in my career, helping team members fine tune and advance their skill set. Learning is a massive passion as there is always a new approach, point of view, or technology to improve the work we do.

I aim to continually push our industry forward by enabling teams to do amazing work more efficiently than ever and find new solutions for the problems we face. The world of web technologies is rapidly evolving and I strive to stay on the cutting edge of it.
