I'm a Full Stack Engineer, seeking a small team and a big task. I jive well with Product Managers and Designers. I like working with other Engineers, each building the parts of our expertise with others for something bigger, even repairing and renewing at different times, over time, never knowing each other except by their legacy code. I worked three years at Apple on AppleCare's global training platform, where I traced a multi-hour outage that had stopped technician certification across 510 retail stores and 5,000+ service locations, and led a six-month front-end refactor of that same platform while it stayed in daily use worldwide. With ten years experience working in Silicon Valley, including engineering and launching projects for agencies and their clients—Walmart Labs, Telstra, Chase, and Cielo—I can work with initial, vague visions and build for real, for launch, for market. The specific thing I'd bring your team: I'm who you hand the large, mature system nobody wants to touch, and I make it safer and faster without a rewrite and without breaking that valuable thing your customers depend on. I ship, I document, I review other people's code, and I'm straight about what I don't know (yet). If that sounds useful, I'd love to hear from you.
