I'm a freelance software engineer based in Baltimore, MD with over 18 years of experience building mobile and web applications. My journey has taken me from agency work to product companies to leading engineering teams. I've had the privilege of working with companies like Greenlight, Leafly, Stanley Black & Decker, and through my work at Mindgrub, companies like Under Armour, The Maryland Lottery, Wendy's, the DOD, and many others. I specialize in native mobile development and TypeScript backend development, but love diving into whatever technology best solves the problem at hand. Currently, I'm running Launchcode Software where I take on interesting freelance projects involving AI, mobile apps, IoT, and embedded systems.
