The greater part of my career was spent building and running an agency focused on enterprise content management systems. In early 2024, I sold my stake in the company to start a new chapter in my career.
I've been writing software since the late 90's and leading engineering teams since 2008. I've written code for websites you've most certainly used. I believe in open source software, native apps over cross-platform frameworks, and in the power of empathetic leadership.

- ⚡ Fun fact: I was once reviewing a pull request that included a new bash script for syncing files across dev environments. When I ran it locally, it wiped my entire hard drive. Needless to say, the PR did not pass code review that day.
