I'm a mobile problem solver focused on user experience, technical insight, and filling in the blank.

About me

I’m a mobile technologist with a product brain and a get-things-done attitude. I like solving messy problems, connecting the dots between users and systems, and asking just enough “why?” to annoy my teammates (in a good way).I’ve worn a few hats; technical, operational, creative  and I’m all about building things that are useful, usable, and just a little unexpected. Currently on the lookout for tech or product roles where curiosity is an asset and "figuring it out" is part of the job description.
