Summary
I'm a talented Software Engineer with 6 years in the field. I'm a polyglot, which means I work in a TON of different languages. I tend to keep things practical and rooted in the real world. I'm good at giving examples of why something you're learning actually matters.. or a real, concrete scenario where I had to use a similar technique.
I work in Ads, which is uninspiring, but my company's Unlimited Vacation, learning budget, and awesome culture make up for it. (Which is why Intent Media was on Crain's Best Places to work in NYC for 6 years in a row!!!)
Some personal info: I live in New York City right by Times Square. I practice contortion and trapeze on the side. I have a dog that skateboards. I throw bullwhips in Central Park.
