I've been building web applications for 21 years. The first eight (8) years as a freelancer and soloprenuer, then 13 years as a professional software engineer.
These days, I enjoy architecting and building distributed reactive systems, leveraging cloud native technologies. I hesitate to ever call myself an expert at anything. :)
- I like working on a dynamic team - where each member provides good leadership in one moment, and good followership in the next.
- I prefer to work on teams where we collaborate creatively, then tackle chunks of the work autonomously.
- I like working on a flat team of seasoned professionals, who engage in healthy intellectually-honest debate and can have fun in the process.
-
I like to build cool stuff with cool people
- The coolest stuff I've ever built was designed by talented, brilliant ui/ux designers.
- I've been skilling up on visual design, and Figma best practices, in my spare time.
-
I prefer to build teams where we all can see each other clearly, to find our optimal equilibrium, and hit our stride.
- This only happens in an environment that fosters trust, where we can be candid about who we are
- sharing our strengths, difficulties, and especially comfortable sharing our mistakes, as part of our life-long journey of continuous learning and professional growth.
- I prefer to tackle new challenges vs. cranking out incremental features on mature products.
Fun facts about me: I'm an INTJ-A (Myers-Briggs). I can un-scramble a rubiks cube in less than 2 minutes. I like to play guitar, sing and hang out with my three-year-old son. :)
