📓About me
I'm an engineering leader with a mind for product, a self-taught programmer, a teacher, and a lifelong learner with over a decade of experience building and shipping things on the Web. I work with organizations whose missions I support, particularly those in media, education, and progressive politics. I’m interested in democratizing access to tools, networks and knowledge to achieve social justice. More interested in solving mundane problems that have a large positive impact than I am with being on tech’s cutting edge.
