who i am

Web developer seeking a position that allows me to use my varied skills, including JavaScript, React, Ruby, Rails, jQuery, Node, and Express, in the service of a forward-thinking media organization.

Formerly an editor and an agent, I have experience across the full spectrum of content creation, development, and publication.

The human need for compelling content is as strong as ever, whether in print or pixels. I love telling good stories well: whether it's how to grow a business, how to solve a puzzle, or how to escape to another world.
