Summary

Front end, back end, CMS builds, custom plugins for Craft and Wordpress, devops, GSAP animations - you name it, I've probably had some experience with it in my career. At a base level, I've always had a knack and a love for problem solving. That's what led me to programming in the first place and the ever-changing landscape keeps me engaged and always learning.

Mentoring is an extension of that - it allows me to see another's world, to learn about how they think and help them toward their own goals. I strongly believe we all have our own unique approaches to programming and there's always something new to learn from one another.

And at the end of the day, building web experiences is something I'm great at. I've built beautiful sites for clients like Nike and Adobe, all while helping junior team members grow and gain confidence in their own abilities.
