What do I do?
I get it done.
End to end.

With over 10 years industry experience delivering digital experiences, products, and brands, not only have I've seen it all - I’ve done it all.

This is all made possible through a relentless push to continually develop my multi-disciplinary craft as a digital jack of all trades - whether that’s my full-stack web & data engineering skills, my proven product + project management expertise, or my continued development as a people-focused leader.

And you know what? I'm still hungry for that next curly challenge.
