Summary

I'm a seasoned fullstack developer with expertise in Python/Django and React. I also have a good deal of design experience and am very comfortable dealing with AI, PSD and Sketch files.

As a teenager, I started hacking together Windows applications with 3d-rendered interfaces in the 90's. I then learned how to create websites so I could host my application files and my love of web development grew from there. At 18, I got my first job as developer at a growing web design agency. I then went on to MTV to work as lead interactive developer for their syndicated video player platform for 4 years. After that, I was hired as CTO and partner for Tech Crunch 50 startup, FluidHTML. I then went on to start Exotic Objects, a software engineering shop in New York City.
