Summary
Hey folks 👋 ! I'm a self-taught software engineer who loves to help aspiring developers break into the amazing world of software, build bigger + better things, squash tricky bugs and have fun along the way!
In my 5+ years as a professional developer, I've gone from junior frontend at a small company to team lead/full-stack at a Fortune 1000 and now senior freelance developer. I've built apps from scratch, rescued legacy codebases and everything in between. The variety keeps me curious and compelled to solve new problems with software, and gives me more experience that I can pass on to others.
I have high standards for myself and my work. With time, resources, scope, expectations and myriad other factors at play, I believe the following core principles are vital to software project success...
- Well-architected, clean and scalable/sustainable code within the project's scope/constraints
- Clear and mutual understanding of project requirements and expectations.
- A solid plan of attack and consistent, ongoing communication. Always be prepared to rework the plan if the need arises.
- Accountability, responsibility and professionalism.
