ABOUT ME
Full-stack developer with 20+ years of solving problems with code.
Full-stack developer with 20+ years of solving problems with code.

I've spent my career developing solutions for startups and entrepreneurs. I believe following best practices and TDD enable startups to move quickly, adapt quickly, and get other developers up to speed quickly.

Focused on development in Ruby and Ruby on Rails for the last 13 years while using other languages as needed for business goals. I've used Clojure for a high traffic API that handle 1000's of requests a second. I've build Golang back-end services to handle parts of applications that needed to be very performant and have fast response times.

I have front-end experience with JavaScript throughout my career, including React and Angular however, I've been using Hotwire (Turbo and Stimulus) for recent projects.

I enjoy finding the best solutions for businesses and balancing the trade-offs required for those solutions.
