I had tons of fun growing up in Austin, TX thru college and a few years after.
I studied English literature at Oxford during summer school.
On a whim, I decided to live in Turku, Finland for over a year.
I now live in beautiful Bend, Oregon.
I love snowboarding, whitewater kayaking, windsurfing, yoga and playing ping pong, ultimate frisbee.
I have been quality crafting Ruby/Rails apps for several years now. see Reputation Manager & Analytics Dashboard. Quality code, solid OOP practices, drive alongside tests are my mantras.
I currently work at Stonecrop Tech using Ruby/Rails to dramatically improve order logistics & cost savings for the cellular construction industry.
I've gained unique experience with some famous extra-challenging companies: Microsoft, GettyImages, Amazon.com, Symyx, and RealNetworks.
I enjoy mentoring. see Sink the Stink i did a few years back to a local ruby group. At Stonecrop, I'm promoting/educating ReactJS to our team.
