Lead Software Engineer and Web Developer with 10+ years of experience

I've worked for a number of startups and big companies over the years including McGrawHill, Weplay, DevPost, LearnZillion, and StitchFix. Mostly, I love building for the web. I've spent a lot of time programming with Ruby and JavaScript, using frameworks and libraries like Rails, React, and Vue.js, and Webpack. How can I help you? Get in touch.
