About Me

Product Manager UX Writer Illustrator Designer I am a... Software Developer.

I've spent (almost) a decade working in (almost) every role with (almost) everyone who has a hand in getting software out into the world.

I've been in the repos—designing, building, and testing sustainable and scalable tech. And I've been involved at the higher level—developing roadmaps, leading Agile teams, and communicating with stakeholders and customers.

So what's the common thread in all these diverse roles? The titles may have been different, but they allowed me to do what I love most—collaborate with cool people, solve problems, A Few of My Favorite Problems

1. Frustrated by a confusing and inefficient new hire experience, I built an educational app to replace the old training program. It was used by hundreds of employees across multiple departments.

2. Tasked with teaching a team of non-engineers Git, I developed and led Git trainings based entirely around Post Malone's face tattoos. For months after, you could find little cutouts of Post Malone's face scattered in every corner of the office.

3. I once had to perform emergency mascot surgery to ensure that a certain national beer brand mascot would be ready in time for the Super Bowl.
and build beautiful things out of nothing.
