I am a full stack software engineer who has worked in mission-driven spaces for my entire career. My prior experience as a product manager helps me to make the connections between ideas and code. I'm on the core team of a front-end JavaScript framework called Ember.js, where I help maintain repositories, write new content, and serve in a leadership capacity.
I enjoy rapid prototyping, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, video tutorial shooting and editing, mockups, user testing, and API design. I aim to create accessible web apps and build inclusive, healthy engineering teams.
Work projects include Cardstack Themer, Cardstack Framework and Builder, Cardstack documentation, BioBright.com website, BioBright's DarwinSyn Platform (web plus native), BioBright's DarwinSpeech, and BioBright's scientific research software for DARPA (voice controlled interfaces plus data vis).
