I was responsible for building Vera's web platform, and I contributed to a variety of patented security solutions. As the business scaled, I moved into architect and management roles, reporting directly to the CTO at all times.I focused heavily on creating consistent conventions and efficient processes, continuously improving developer ergonomics, minimizing "dev friction", and shortening dev-test feedback cycles.

I helped build a mobile device and application management solution that some of the world's largest enterprises used to keep their data, devices, and users secure.

I partnered with a rock star (you've heard his music) to create an ecosystem for independent musicians to build meaningful and lasting careers in entertainment. Our mission was to give indie artists and their fans the first-class engagement platform they deserved.

I led a global development team for a music streaming company with millions of active users.I was responsible for planning, executing and leading initiatives that enabled rapid user growth, reliability and high performance.

As the senior developer in a marketing-oriented organization, I was responsible for the engineering and management of the primary College of Medicine websites, campaign and micro sites, internal applications and infrastructure.I was subsequently assigned to a team tasked with restructuring the college’s approach to digital communications planning, implementation, management and analysis, and I authored an internal study that changed the way social media marketing was viewed within the college.

As the Interactive Director of a company that historically focused on offering traditional advertising services, such as print and outdoor media, I was tasked with managing digital services for a new generation of clients and transforming the public image of the business through a complete re-branding.

My company found its niche in providing website and web application design and development to small and medium-sized businesses looking to harness the power of the web for the first time.From creating and managing online advertisements to developing custom content management and inventory systems, we gave our clients the opportunity to streamline and automate much of their digital presence, providing them with the edge they needed to succeed in a challenging market.
