... and I am a software engineer, entrepreneur and technical leader. The majority of my professional experience is in web development, with a specific focus on the LAMP stack. My passion is helping companies build secure, highly scalable, load-tolerant websites and services that are extensible, easy to maintain and platform agnostic. I have extensive experience in top-down, back-to-front design and development, database architecture, SOA construction, and frontend UI/UX design.

In addition to my engineering abilities, I also pride myself in being a technical leader and an Agile specialist. I love to help companies effectively build and grow their technology teams in order to propel forward innovation and efficiency. I work closely with developers in order to tailor an ideal process that will offer the best opportunity for each to thrive. I believe that a good process can be invaluable to any group and is vital for companies of any size to dedicate effort and time to perfecting. I believe in the importance of the individual contributor, espousing a hands-off approach that uses simplistic task management and selective team leadership to avoid micromanagement while maintaining accountability. This bottom-up approach gives proper visibility into a team of any size, while affording the individual engineer the space and comfort needed to be an effective developer.
