I’m a full-stack developer with a preference for backend. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve worked in everything from avionics to WordPress to heavy GIS data processing. I love solving complex problems (make them as simple as possible, but no simpler), designing for scalability and sustainability, and mentoring engineers.

I’m a builder and coach at heart, and will happily build software, do product development, architect systems, or step into a leadership / management role. That said, you don’t want me to be your interface designer, but I can implement someone else’s design just fine.

It seems I do my best work as a strong #2, supporting a leader that values ideas and feedback, whether in a management or IC role. (Working Geniuses: invention and enablement. Working Frustrations: galvanizing and tenacity)
