Full-Time Roles
Full-stack engineer, tech lead, and software architect with 10 years’ experience
I'm a full-stack engineer with ten years of experience working on mission-critical applications as an individual contributor and technical lead. I've done extensive work in digital media—who doesn't love a CMS migration—but I've also worked in fintech and consumer services. I specialize in bootstrapping creative domain-driven architectures. Unlike many of whom this is true, I also ship.

Projects
