Summary

Hello! I've been working in tech for over six years and across various functions. I'm a full-stack developer with expertise in Ruby, Rails, Javascript, React and Swift, as well as dev ops / cloud (e.g., Docker, AWS, Google Cloud). I have engineering experience from both large companies and small startups, having previously worked at the NY Times helping build new products such as NYT Cooking as well as freelanced for a small education company and my own startup. Moreover, I have experience as a product manager navigating complex technical architectures and handling cloud migrations, so I can also help guide product development strategy.
