Technology should enrich and delight people's lives. I apply "design thinking"​ across development, product, and leadership. By having a diverse set of skills, I'm able to build what I dream of and fulfill technologies mission to make life better. I have strong understandings of front-end development, back-end development, design, usability, and leadership.

Citrusbyte was one of the first companies in the world focusing on Rails/Ruby development. I had an amazing learning opportunity here to learn from some talented people and also had the pleasure of sharing the latest and best tools to use in the industry; which the company also tended to adopt (RSpec, Haml, Sass). I did a lot of front-end development here, and learned a lot of lessons.
