Enthusiastic, dynamic, and proven Full Stack Software Engineer and Tech Lead with over 15 years of experience. I drive maximum results throughout the application layer (Java, Spring, Docker), and the front end (Vue, React, Sass, and Cypress) to create scalable solutions. Designing and implementing effective, elegant, and efficient applications is my passion. I love collaborating on everything from UX design (Sketch, Figma) and information architecture to the backend databases and cloud infrastructure (Kubernetes). When leading teams, I mentor with compassion and prize the feeling of helping team members overcome obstacles. I also enjoy exploring and finding good fits for new technologies. As an experienced agile practitioner, I'm comfortable being both a herder of cats, and remover of blockers. When I'm not diving headfirst into code, I'm probably jogging (Creve Couer Lake), gaming (PS5), reading, listening to podcasts, or just consuming way too much pop culture in general.
