About Me

I am a seasoned Software Engineer who started with Lego but switched to code when I was a teenager. Now I help companies get on track with their development processes by helping them with the development process and/or being the development process if they don't want the hassle. In my career, I have worked with several technology companies and retailers, as well as with startups, non-profit and government organizations.
