ABOUT ME

Experienced full-stack developer, 2X Startup CTO, JSParty Panelist, former ZURB Foundation lead

I'm an experienced developer and entrepreneur, and an active contributor open source. I led the ZURB Foundation project from 2016 until mid 2017.

I've co-founded and acted as CTO for 2 companies, founded the San Diego Javascript Meetup, am a regular presenter at local tech meetups, and consult on software development, communication, and leadership.

I'm new to codementor, but led the ZURB Foundation training at ZURB in 2016 teaching primarily in an interactive webinar format, and have run my own training sessions on Vue.js. I have also mentored both team members and open source contributors across a variety of technologies.
