I'm a software engineer with going on 15+ years (!) of experience, who has been fortunate enough to work on a pretty varied set of problems. Primarily my experience has been as a lead full-stack developer across all of backend, frontend, devops, mobile and agile project management, mostly using a Python/Node/React/AWS stack.
Generally I am interested in working with good people on good problems.
