about me
my strengths
User Driven Development
I create applications with the goal in mind of making them intuitive and fun to use.
Time Management
I have taken applications from conception to production within very short time periods, and learned to be as efficient as possible.
Leadership and Teamwork
There is only so much that one can accomplish alone. My ability to work well in any development team makes achieving the end-goal much easier.
Problem Solving
Throw problems my way, and I will spend every waking moment trying to find a way to push through them, or make them irrelevant altogether.
