I like to be challenged to build engaging, exciting software.  My focus is on intuitive UI, informative animation, and simple, elegant user experiences, no matter what the platform.

I've been making iOS apps for just about as long as the SDK has been out, working on everything from client work for companies such as Viacom, Conde Nast, and Random House to the industry-leading mobile point of sale Square Register.

## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ Bridge
Jan 2024 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area

### Software Engineer @ Square
Jan 2013 – Jan 2023 | San Francisco, CA
I started out working on the flagship Square Point of Sale app, building a wide variety of merchant-facing features as well as major infrastructural projects. As a member of the Developer Platform team, I built Square Reader SDK, which allows third-party developers to build apps that take payments using Square hardware.  Developers have used this SDK to build everything from order-ahead kiosks to taxi meters to doctor's office check-in terminals, all leveraging Square's payment platform and business services.

I also did stints as an engineering manager on the e-commerce and Point of Sale teams, and for the last year and change, I was an IC on Cash App, working on their commerce initiatives and core functionality.

### Software Engineer @ Evenly
Jan 2013 – Jan 2013 | San Francisco, CA
As one of three software engineers, I built the Evenly iPhone app from the ground up and developed new features for our Ruby on Rails backend.

### iOS Engineer @ Blackboard
Jan 2011 – Jan 2013 | San Francisco, CA
Part of the engineering team on Mobile Learn and Mobile Central, Blackboard's flagship iOS products.  Used by millions of college students all over the world, Mobile Learn was always an exciting challenge, and it was always rewarding to hear that Mobile Learn was by far our users' favorite part of the Blackboard ecosystem.  I also was the primary engineer on a pilot project involving real-time feedback for classroom and auditorium use.

### Mobile Developer @ Fuzz Productions
Jan 2009 – Jan 2011 | Brooklyn, NY
Made native iPhone and iPad apps, from initial modeling to final QA.  Notable projects included DECODED by Jay-Z (Random House), Details Finder (Details Magazine), Eat This, Not That! the Game (Men's Health/Rodale), PrePlay Sports (PrePlay), and others.  Used all different corners of the iOS SDK and integrated with a wide range of cloud services.
