I love to bring things to life on the web and mobile. I'm a full-stack engineer comfortable in all things JavaScript and iOS, but prefer work that expands my skillset and maximizes my learning, both in a new technology and new industry sense. Workflow, the dev environment, writing tests, UX and visual design, and setting a high bar for quality in releases are all related and very important to me.
