Full stack engineer and leader who can't seem to get away from JavaScript. I have been working in startups for over 5 years and am still amazed at how much I've learned in so little time. Who knew there was so much to learn about distributed event-driven systems? When I get passionate about something, I dive in head first and figure it out. I love to learn new things and am a self-starter. I am comfortable making decisions and continuing to move forward, whether they are right or wrong, but really care about getting things done the right way. I have strong opinions that I'm willing to share, and never shy away from an argument, as it is an opportunity to change my mind and learn something new. I think best out loud while standing at a whiteboard, even when I have nothing to write.
