I am a full-stack dev with experience across a wide range of technologies and industries, and a passion for learning new things and making new connections. I have worked in organizations from 10 to 10,000, on teams of 3 to 13+, and one attribute I'm often credited with and proud of, is being a great team player.
I am an experienced people leader, but my real love is writing code and seeing it work. I believe in unit and automated testing, but I'm not a TDD zealot. My Git history is clean and well-commented, and I appreciate a really well-crafted Pull Request or Issue Description as much as a detailed Readme file. Updating documentation is something I have incorporated into my development cycle, and I have thanked myself many times for just writing it down.
I love solving new problems and fixing what’s broken.
