Over the past 15+ years I’ve delivered software projects for small startups, established businesses, and major brands.
Nowadays I architect AI systems and build products for early-stage startups including PressFriendly, the one I co-founded.
I prefer to work with Ruby and React but i’ve also worked professionally in Javascript/Typescript, PHP, Python, and Swift. I’ve used many frameworks including Rails, Laravel, NLTK, Scikit-learn, Django, Vue, Ember, Angular, CakePHP, Symphony, jQuery, and more.
HTML/CSS, SQL, Elasticsearch, MongoDB, Redis, AWS, Docker, Git, AI/ML APIs (OpenAI, Claude), payment processing (Stripe, PayPal), and various other integrations. Comfortable with architecture, UI/UX, database optimization, bash scripting, and general server admin tasks.
I’ve delivered products and features for startups of all sizes, from early-stage to acquisition. Notable projects include HelloSign (employee #2, acquired by Dropbox), Mattermark, and Groupthink.
When I worked in advertising I built microsites and apps for high profile brands including Exxon, Claritin, Oppenheimer, Allure, Hyatt, Plantronics, Paypal, LiveActive, Barilla, Triscuit, Charles Schwab, Clearasil, Volvo Cars North America, Lacoste, and Dos Equis.
Excellent communication skills. Happy to go into detail explaining options and limitations.
Calm and collected during crunch time.
