hire me
I’m always open to discussing the perfect opportunity. If my résumé looks like a good fit for your engineering position, let’s chat.
I’m also open to consulting or CTO-in-residence positions.
About Me
- I wrapped up my time at Glitch in April and have been enjoying a break.
- I’m a software engineer with 20+ years of experience building for the web
- I’ve managed teams of engineers on complex projects ranging from healthcare.gov to glitch.com
What I’m Looking For
- A culture that prioritizes mentorship and personal growth
- A new challenge that pushes me beyond my current experience
- A role as a staff level IC or director of engineering
- A well-defined role, either as a leader or an individual contributor, with
clear expectations and responsibilities for success
Engineering Leadership
I thrive in roles that allow me to work at a higher level setting strategic direction. I’m also adept at leading individual contributors and engineers of all skill levels, having successfully managed teams comprised of interns and principal engineers at the same time.
My leadership experience spans the entire technology stack, from infrastructure orchestration to improving front-end performance and accessibility.
Software Engineering
As an individual contributor, my expertise lies in front-end development, with over two decades of experience working with JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP, and other web technologies. I’ve built design systems, IDEs and services for millions from scratch.
I’m comfortable across the entire stack, but really light up at creating experiences that delight users.
