I'm a software professional passionate about building elegant solutions to complex problems. While most recently I've been in leadership roles (CTO, VP of Engineering, etc.) I'm a developer at heart and stay hands-on by coding in my spare time.

Projects

Full-featured contact management system demonstrating a REST API with TypeScript, Express, and PostgreSQL. Create and manage persons, organizations, and their contact information.
