BACKGROUND

I am a full stack web developer and software engineer located in Los Angeles.

I view software as the most powerful tool we have ever created for expanding human knowledge and creativity. I am driven by a passion for visual design and an endless curiosity for learning new technology. I believe the key to innovation is developing a strong artistic intuition through a wide variety of creative disciplines.

In my most recent position as lead full stack web developer I designed and built business web sites, landing pages, template engines, user traffic tracking, API features, data dashboards, HTML custom emails, ads and graphic designs, and administrative software tools. I also contributed to digital marketing strategies, sales calls, ad campaigns, and worked closely with designers.
