Weekend Entrepreneur and experienced full stack engineer & technical director with a focus on API design, user-centered design, low latency high frequency trading applications.
 
I’m well-versed in project planning and development, agile delivery, relationship management, and scheduling skills. Besides work I run a creative design studio and am always on the lookout for talented individuals to collaborate, prototype and build cool ideas.

Outside the office I exist in the gym, work my way through the family cookbook, and indulge my love for seeing new places. 

If you’re interested in grabbing coffee and discussing ideas, send a ping my way!
