ABOUT ME
20 Year Veteran Full-Stack Developer with 6 Years Teaching Experience
20 Year Veteran Full-Stack Developer with 6 Years Teaching Experience

I'm a very hard working, meticulous developer. I approach coding as almost an art form, concentrating on making the code as easily understandable, scalable, clean, and elegant as I can. I try not only to answer the immediate problems of the client, but to also anticipate what future needs they may have.

I've worked as a developer since 2000, and I have a full understanding of all aspects of development (server side, client side, and mobile). I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Vassar College with a degree in computer science in which I received departmental honors. I've worked for many clients in New York including, Nike, IBM, Pfizer, MTV, Chanel, Verizon, Goldman Sachs, Nestle, AARP, and BAM. I've worked with companies in pretty much all of the major industries applicable to development, and I have a deep understanding of the differences in the ways those industries work. I'm very friendly and outgoing, I take constructive criticism well, and I'm always happy to put in extra hours when necessary.

As an Instructor, I have been teaching full time since 2015 at General Assembly and have led workshops at many locations, including Columbia University, NYU, and General Assembly.

Specialties: can quickly learn new programming languages/concepts, strong understanding of most web techniques and languages
