profile
I’ve been developing software in metro Atlanta for more than five years. My focus has primarily been on
interaction, quality, and team dynamics. I’ve worked on a variety of projects, from systems that play jazz
to ones that need to scale to 140 million registered voters. I’ve trained users, fixed frameworks, built
servers, designed solutions and wrote a lot a code in a lot of languages. Most importantly, I had fun
along the way. I can’t wait to find out what’s next.
