I love building things. I`m currently a Sr Staff Software Engineer at BigCommerce in Austin, and a former Sr Architect for MODX LLC, having co-architected its most current iteration, MODX Revolution and its cloud-based lifecycle management platform, MODX Cloud. I`ve built and led teams to build high-scaling, dynamic services and systems in many various languages and technologies, including Ruby, PHP, and JavaScript, with further experience in Rails, gRPC, MySQL, SCSS/SASS, RabbitMQ, Google Cloud, 0mq, linkerd, Docker, Nomad, Sencha, Scala, Angular, ExtJS, ColdFusion, terraform, kubernetes, and others. I`m familiar with designing and directing microservices, hexagonal architectures, development environments, open source libraries, and asynchronous event-driven systems. I believe in the power of team over individuals, and how processes and practices can shape that at companies. I value transparency and collaboration, and think the most successful teams are built on trust and accountability. I believe iterative progress beats idealistic arguments every time. I love to code with quality, build neat tech, and generally just get stuff done. ©
