Summary
I’ve always been drawn to the idea of using technology to advance businesses and their needs. Whether it’s improving the workflow for developers and businesses or building applications that are intuitive and fast to use, I enjoy developing solutions that matter. Over the years, I’ve tackled many complex challenges and needs, such as leading disaster recovery efforts that have saved thousands of dollars, orchestrating complex database designs to steer smarter decision making, and building websites that are a delight to use.
My passions and goals are not just about building things to achieve a task. It’s about going the extra mile to create solutions that feel intuitive, meaningful, and are a joy to interact with. I want to build systems and tools that don’t just achieve the bare minimum for a task, but make people’s lives better. The impact that I create by putting other people's needs is the most important factor when developing a new process and fuels my purpose and passion.
