Simplicity is the ultimate sophisticationI live for innovation and am a named inventor on 11 issued software patents, and a dozen more patent pending applications. Pushing the boundaries of what is possible without forgetting the user’s needs. Ease of use is far more important than being flashy or cool. I enjoy early stage exploration of new ideas, adopting an MVP (minimal viable product) approach and engaging with user concerns as early as possible. Embracing direction adjustment or even radical changes throughout rapid prototyping and initial development phases.An enthusiastic mentor, I get as much or more satisfaction out of enabling my team’s success than my personal accomplishments. Strong analytical and collaborative skills facilitate decisive navigation of issues. Capable of guiding teams and fostering professional growth, enabling a highly productive team atmosphere with focus on trust, respect and clear communication.With more than two decades of experience, I bridge between the worlds of UI and UX, I’m an excellent front-end engineer with a strong eye for design. I believe that a mobile-first and responsive web approach is the default starting point for any modern application with very few exceptions. The balance between business drivers and technical concerns should be maintained, understanding the tradeoffs between what should be built vs what can be built.Well versed in JavaScript with and without frameworks and third-party libraries, I’ve been developing in web based-technologies since the birth of the web. As a veteran of the browser wars of today and years past, I ensure compatibility across major web browsers, desktop and mobile devices. I am an expert in accessibility such as compliance with ADA (American Disability Act) guidelines. I've developed single page applications, native mobile apps, public web sites, online training, dashboards and internal systems using a variety of languages and technology stacks.
