Are you a Recruiter?


Thanks for your relentless interest, however, I am not seeking employment or contract opportunities. Please don't waste your time. Seriously.

Since 1998, I've been working with companies and organizations to make world-class websites: ubiquitous global brands, up-and-coming small businesses, mom n' pop locals, and non-profits - all looking to harness the web for a competitive edge.

I've experienced building websites from many vantage points: as a consultant employed by a global agency, with a small local firm, and in freelance, as a technical lead with software companies producing SaaS and installable product, and as the sole web application developer in a biotech company where software and the web were a critical value add, but not part of the core business. My breadth of exposure to different business cultures provides me with a rich appreciation for how cross-functional teams composed of diverse business, geographic, and technical backgrounds can effectively collaborate to dream, cultivate, and deliver successful web applicatons.

At my core, however, I'm still simply driven by naive curiousity and a passion for creative problem solving through code. The web is constantly evolving, and everyday I look forward to new challenges where I can deploy my facilities, experience, and resourcefulness to conquer them. I enjoy what I do, and am grateful for opportunities to work with others engaged, inspired, and delighted by the web. Perhaps that's you?
