I enjoy building teams and complex products. I have the ability to work with people of extremely divergent backgrounds, educations, and technical specialties. I thrive in environments with vague or uncertain requirements. I specialize in discovering what individuals can contribute, meeting their needs, and complementing their strengths. I prefer working in transparent and flat organizations. As Chief Operating Officer for Parian I’ve project managed and built core database-driven applications for 5 companies. As an individual contributor for those projects I’ve built databases, APIs, data pipelines, web applications, and mobile applications, primarily using Ruby on Rails, Python, PostgreSQL, and JavaScript. I have built software for CEOs, CTOs, psychiatrists, restaurant managers, scientists, PhDs, mobile developers, and food truck drivers.I have also worked on systems that automate blood chemistry tests, perform physical therapy and neuromuscular rehabilitation, estimate the reliability of aerospace components, and propel autonomous vehicles underwater. I have been coding since 6th grade with expertise in C/C++, Python, and Ruby on Rails.
