Off screen, usually outside.
Away from work, you’ll usually find me outdoors with my wife and our dogs, reading science fiction, working on a side project, or somewhere in a Dungeons & Dragons campaign.
Bring me the hard part.
If you have a product to build, a system to untangle, or an engineering team that needs a clearer path forward, I’d like to hear about it.
