About

We may have engaged in a Jira ticket or other social media. I build things and also explain stuff about MongoDB. I’ve built applications in both Education and Travel and have supported a team of 200+ in its use of technical systems in day-to-day operations. I’m enthusiastic about creating products that drive value for innovative teams.
