About me

I have a passion for leveraging technology to solve real world problems. I had my first paid software development job at age 15, building an application for a local inventor for tracking his investors and sales. I am a full stack engineer who is just as comfortable configuring a Linux server, adminstrating a database or adding CSS3 transitions to a website as I am depoying a Java application, writing a websocket server for node.js or managing a team of software engineers. My mobile development skills include both iOS and Android environments with published apps in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

I am personable engineers who actually listens and understands how to balance business needs with those of the end user. I have enough experience to be able to see the big picture yet still hands-on enough to implement everything myself if necessary. I have many years experience managing software development teams of various sizes but I still like to get my hands dirty with some coding. Software engineers are notorious for being difficult to manage but, being one myself, I know how to speak their language. I am currently looking for my next career adventure someplace where my extensive experience and skillset can be used to its fullest capacity.
