About.
/about
I'm a fullstack developer with six years building products for the web, mobile apps, marketing sites, and the occasional internal tool. I like work where design and engineering have to talk to each other often.
Collaborative by default. I bring opinions, but I value what the rest of the room sees that I don't.
