What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role that fosters innovation, teamwork, and growth opportunities.

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with a passion for coding that began at the age of 8. Over the years, I've led remote teams across the US, Canada, and Europe, successfully shipping projects that serve millions of users. My expertise spans both front-end and back-end development, utilizing technologies like GraphQL, Node.js, Ruby on Rails, and React.

Throughout my career, I've championed numerous automation and webification projects, transitioning legacy systems to modern APIs. My recent work at Clio involved leading the Billing Receipts Self Serve project, generating over 20,000 PDFs in just 90 days. I thrive in fast-paced environments, such as Startup Weekend, where I can create impactful solutions under tight deadlines.
