Personal Summary

I'm a software engineer living in Seattle with expertise in custom, creative, tactile frontend experiences. View my proudest professional work at AWOL in P-Town, an interactive giga-pixel hidden image game promoting a feature film. I engineered and implemented the tiling, pan, and zoom system from scratch.

My career started with three years working at Google. I built front-end tools for large scale human computation and information curation on the Knowledge Graph team. I left Google to free lance on my own. I spent four years at programming boot camp schools creating curriculum, lecturing and guiding student projects. I've reentered engineering roles working as a senior software engineer at Apple and Convoy where I've continued to build effective front-end experiences and especially been involved in migrations converting code from Java to GoLang, and code from JavaScript to TypeScript.

I'm looking for a role to continue developing my expertise as a front-end engineer and leading effective teams.

In my spare time I'm actively writing Learn Programming Programming Board Games. I love how writing forces introspection and refinement. I aim for the book to be an enjoyable read for people with zero or any level of programming experience. The book focuses on explaining concepts and ideas more than just showing source code.
