I'm a proven, self-motivated Full Stack Developer with over 10 years experience building web applications with a special focus on producing thoughtful, well-documented code; creating user-friendly experiences; and meeting web standards. While I excel at working independently, I thrive in a collaborative environment surrounded by smart, motivated, fun folks like myself who don't mind pulling out NERF guns when the work is done.I've been lucky enough to spend the better part of my career with Interactive Technologies, a boutique web applications design firm that provided me constant opportunities to learn and grow -- and push out of my own comfort zone. I love to figure things out, and at InTech, I was challenged many times over, and rose to the occasion (sometimes surprising myself). At one point, I was tasked with troubleshooting a fresh install of a ColdFusion web application server over VPN for a Fortune 100 company located on the opposite coast. I successfully restored their brand family of websites with minimal downtime. Not many developers have such free reign and it was awesome.Outside of web development, my interests include balancing a whole lot of running with a love of craft beer. Between the multitude of gorgeous parks and trails, the incredible weather, and the populous craft brewery scene here, believe me, I'm grateful every day that I live in Seattle.
