Say Hi01
Teamwork
Great teams build great software together when they understand each other and the task at hand
MentorshipHelping people level up.
I've mentored interns into hires, coached junior developers towards promotions, and lead teams through myriad tasks and conditions. I help those I mentor grow through appropriate tasks and meaningful feedback.
Rec RoomChanging engines mid-flight.
Leading the team to deliver a brand new suite for analytics while concurently updating our technical foundations
Working TogetherAsk questions and actively listen
Getting to the crux of the issue faster will save everybody time. A stitch in time saves nine
CollaborationThe best work is shared.
Design, engineering, and product moving toward the same outcome instead of guarding separate corners.
02
Drive
Curiosity, inspiration, and rigor drive me. Fuel your engine to overcome any obstacles in your path
QualtricsKeeping servers up.
Caching, CDNs, and keeping complex feedback survey systems dependable under massive load.
FreightWebA full-stack prototype in one evening.
Doing Full stack web development at FreightWeb allowed me to go from discussion to customer ready prototype in one evening.
Finishing the jobDone means done, done, and done.
Iterate to success by delivering fast and early. But don't stop there! Keep an eye on your feature and it's not "done" until you have positive data or the feature has been removed
MomentumVisibility for all
Large projects need clear steps and deliverables. Setting deadlines and understanding dependencies will allow for everybody to be on the same page without setting up a bunch of meetings
03
Creativity
Code can be more than infrastructure. It can become an instrument, a toy, a tiny world, or an experience nobody has quite felt before.

GamesJams, constraints, and small worlds.

AudioSound plays a big part.
Audio continues to fascinate me. Often overlooked or underutilized, sound effects can lend a trememndous amount of ambiance, game feel, and juice.
ExperimentationCuriosity becomes prototypes.
When in doubt, build it! A picture is worth a thousand words, but a prototype is worth a million.
