Welcome to my public GitHub profile. While I don't get to do much hands on coding anymore, I do hack together small apps to make my life simpler. Such as Boston Food Trucks (iOS) to help me find lunch (formerly), a white-noise app called Sssh...Sleeping (iOS) to sleep a little better while traveling, and Apple Wallet powered Electronic Business Cards.

This is a collection of work related articles that I gathered over the years that connected with me for one reason or another and that I often find myself re-sharing. Posting them here on to make it a little easier for people to discover and for me to share internally. I have dreams about writing a little blurb for each one at some point but don’t wait around for that…
