Profile

I’m a full-stack developer, working primarily with Vue, React, Node, Java, Kotlin, Python, Docker, CouchDB, and many other tools. In my spare time I’m really enjoying building things in Clojure/ClojureScript.

Above all, though, I’m looking for a great team rather than the perfect stack. My ideal role is one in which I can get to know my colleagues and work with them to solve challenging problems, exchanging knowledge, ideas, and a few beers in the process.
