Roll Over Easy is a radio program that's all about starting your day off right. As a blatantly optimistic radio program focused on San Francisco, we take you from under the covers to after coffee every Thursday morning on BFF.fm.Over the past decade we've interviewed politicians, writers, artists, small business owners, culture jammers, and activists. We've explored forgotten San Francisco geographies like Irish Hill, discussed the origins of the historic Cacophony Society, read Cool Gray City of Love chapter by chapter, and discovered hidden springs and streams around town. We've broadcasted live while riding bikes across San Francisco, shared the airwaves with tomorrow's leaders, and broke stories across a variety of subjects.Our hope is that by the end each program you'll be a bit more knowledgeable about San Francisco, and hopefully a bit more in love with it too. Our program takes place live in locations around San Francisco, from the Wave Organ, JFK Promenade, our studio in the Mission, the Presidio, and beyond!Thursday 7:30 – 9:30am, only on BFF.fm.

A great learning experience focused on the rapid iteration of a SaaS platform to manage construction progress! I was part of a team of three engineers who were focused on giving those in the "build environment" an open way to share status and progress on multiple initiatives.I took part in user requirements, architecture, implementation, and deployment to production on photo uploads, user onboarding, realtime timeline feed, and user profiles amongst other core features.
