Résumé
I’ve been lucky to work with many talented people over the years at all kinds of agencies, startups, local shops, and big tech companies. We built some awesome digital goods and services used every day by thousands of businesses and millions of customers all around the world.
I’m interested in roles, preferably client–facing, where I can help drive product, take ownership of process, and still do a good amount of hands–on engineering.
While I enjoy the occasional business trip, I mostly work online from West Palm Beach, FL.
