Goals & Objectives:

I enjoy helping developers level up their skills so they can build better software. Whether better means more maintainable, faster, more secure, more usable - it doesn't matter. I'm constantly improving, myself, and I enjoy sharing the things I've found helpful to me and my clients with others.
