Agile software craftsperson, engineer, and UX designer with deep and wide-ranging IT experience. I strive to build software that is as structurally and semantically cohesive behind the scenes, as it is compelling and intuitive for the people who use it. I enjoy working collaboratively to isolate problem domains and implement simple and reusable solutions. Musician, sailor, puzzle enthusiast, full-time learner, and wannabe chef.
