ABOUT ME
Experienced Full-Stack Web Developer
Experienced Full-Stack Web Developer

I've been a computer nerd since I taught myself QBasic and C++ at the age of 13. I am detail-oriented, thorough, and passionate about clean, elegant, efficient code, and using it to solve interesting and useful problems. I have 15+ years of professional experience in web application development, and mobile app development experience as well.
