About:
TL;DR: I love all things front-end.
My passion is developing intuitive, user-friendly single-page web applications. I've got a rare combination of design sensibility, strong technical experience, and proven leadership skills. While I've had hands-on experience in leading a team successfully through the development lifecycle, and running workshops teaching Javascript... I ultimately love chunks of heads-down coding time

My passion is developing intuitive, user-friendly single-page web applications. I've got a rare combination of design sensibility, strong technical experience, and proven leadership skills. While I've had hands-on experience in leading a team successfully through the development lifecycle, and running workshops teaching Javascript... I ultimately love chunks of heads-down coding time these days.
I follow the mantra "beautiful on the inside, beautiful on the outside." This means I lean toward DRY practices and clean code. Visually, I like the polish and little things that make a good GUI great.
