I've spent over a decade building desktop and web applications for various industries.
I've delivered software solutions by myself, and as a member of small teams.
I prefer to work as a project manager/developer, interacting directly with customers and translating business requirements into deliverables with the help of my peers.
I like to work on boring-sounding business software that people use to get their jobs done.
Developed an email editor to replace a third-party whitelabeled editor.
Worked primarily on the internal software that coordinated inventory, sales, fulfillment, customer service, manufacturing.
Developed the front-end of a payroll administration webapp.
I worked as a freelancer, mostly serving clients in the publishing and customer service industries.
With two other developers, added features and fixed bugs to get the node.js/Express/React app Cake closer to shipping.
