Summary

I am an experienced developer, product manager, and instructor. The majority of my development work has been either freelance or unpaid side projects but I've spent a good amount of energy developing my own best practices as I've pursued a career in people-facing roles in the tech industry. I'm comfortable with both frontend and backend web development, fascinated by languages like Go and Typescript, and enjoy working on problems involving really large datasets.
