Sweats the details, especially in the UI. Likes working on cool things. Prefers being part of a team but can cowboy code until the cows come home.
Currently: iOS (Swift and Objective-C), Android (Java and Kotlin), Ruby (but not Rails), CouchDB. Previously: JavaScript, browser stuff, relational databases, and a little Node.js.
Technology is cool and everything but it’s only really neat if used to make the world a better place and improve lives.
Would you like to know more?
My strengths are:
- Empathy for users and their experience
- Helping people so they can do their best work
- Writing the least amount of code possible (but no less than that)
- Making complex and rich applications easily usable
- Championing automated testing, builds, and as many other things as possible
- Application architecture
I like my code clean, my tests fast, and my reviews honest.
While I am currently employed full-time I am always interested
in hearing about cool projects that are looking for a little extra
freelance help. Don’t be afraid to
get in touch
and talk with me about what you’re working on. Collaboration
is cool!
