Hello! I'm a friendly software developer living in Lincoln, Nebraska with my wife & son. I've prioritized continual learning throughout my career and have tried to give back to the community through conference presentations, blog posts, and Pluralsight courses. If you are interested in learning more, drop me a line!

Developer, Founder, Mentor.

I love solving problems. I love to write code, improve teams, and lead technical decisions.

I've been fortunate to work with a lot of teams and do a lot of different things in my career and that has given me a great perspective of what works and what does not. I'm interested in working with agile teams where I can help with requirements, architecture, development, and mentoring.

Skills

I have 20+ years of experience as a software developer. Most of of my career I've worked on web applications with C#, HTML, & CSS, and the last few years I have been working with React Native and NodeJs. I have learned how to quickly adopt a new technology in my role as a consultant and have completed projects in PHP, Python, Azure, and Google.

C# 100%
JavaScript/NodeJs 100%
HTML/CSS 75%
Azure 90%
Agile/Scrum 100%
PHP & Python 70%
React Native 80%
SQL/Database 100%

Resume
