👋🏻 Follow me for weekly content on software development, software architecture, leadership, management, soft skills, and interview preparation. 👨‍💻 Passionate technologist at heart, a startup founder, a hands-on software engineer specializing in backend + frontend + hybrid and mobile development with +11 years of experience as an individual contributor (IC), an engineering management professional with +6 years of experience with a clear passion on leading and building software engineering teams, a motivated marketer, and a very happy individual who is creating a life full of purpose.

Programming professionally for 20 years. I've spent the last 4.5 years as Backend Lead at Pexels, and previously held lead roles at HYP3R and TalentNest. Primarily interested in backend Team Lead or Engineering Lead positions. Looking for a remote role. I am very passionate about software engineering, writing maintainable, testable and clean code that follows good architectural practices. I began as a self-taught programmer as a preteen, and worked as a freelance developer through high school and university. That led to a career in multiple industries (including construction, applicant tracking software, social media and currently stock photography), and a fast rise from individual contributor to tech lead and beyond. In order to give back to the Ruby community, I began heavily contributing to RuboCop (a Ruby linter with 300 million downloads that is a key piece of the toolset for most Ruby developers), culminating being invited to become a core team member at the beginning of 2021. I have held lead seniority roles for more than 12 years. As a manager, I see myself as a developer advocate, and spend a lot of time focusing on the happiness and productivity of my staff. Currently I am the Backend Lead at Pexels. In this capacity at a small company, I have a wide variety of responsibilities, including: Architect, plan, implement, test and ship large complex features and build out process Help non-engineers plan, scope and estimate their projects and participate in organization-wide product planning Triage and respond to security issues in code and infrastructure, including running a bug bounty program Manage and mentor a team of backend engineers of all levels. Procure and negotiate with vendors, including saving the company tens of thousands of dollars in hosting costs Looking forward to hearing from you!

Do you have a robust end-to-end testing strategy that operates your most business critical features from the UI level? If not then your team is wasting a lot of energy. In my twenty plus years of professional experience I've noticed that the big problems always emerge from a few missing fundamentals. Right now I'm looking for a company to partner with who need help with their end-to-end testing. I will fix it for you and teach your team the disciplines that make it stick. I'll also add a lot of maturity and insight to your teams. I love mentoring and supporting humble learners. I'm currently looking for part-time work while I develop a course on Ruby fundamentals. A lot of companies are struggling to find qualified people and I want to help improve the size of the pool. I'm excited to help you and be a multiplier on your team.

I make Rails go whirrr, your customers happy, and your team squee! I’m a metrics driven engineer– for over 10 years I’ve shipped software, led teams and brought transparency to the development process. Rails is my goto framework – PostgreSQL, Kafka, Sidekiq, and Tailwindcss are some of my favourite technologies and platforms. High project ownership, empathy, collaboration and communication are the foundations of my working style.
