NOTE TO RECRUITERS: I am not interested in Crypto, Fintech, or Healthcare.  Thank you.

I've been working with web and web-adjacent technologies for 15 years and have with experience working on a wide variety of team structures. The lion’s share of my work experience has been front-end and full stack web development, with years of production experience writing backend APIs and running production cloud infrastructure. 

As a teammate:
- I view my role as an engineer as not just someone who writes quality code, but someone who synthesizes the product requirements, visual design, QA expectations, and company goals, into something that is greater than the sum of its parts. 
- I value team synergy, honesty, and cohesion; and finding ways to improve it. 
- I have a strong desire to do what’s best for both the customer and the company. 
- I have a history of success working remote, in-office, and a combination of both.
