I’m a developer who specializes in software development, product management, and business strategy, with a strong background in AI, eCommerce, and patent consulting. Based in Bozeman, Montana, I have led teams across multiple disciplines, from software engineering to legal consulting and large-scale acquisitions.
With years of experience in startups and established enterprises, I have a track record of scaling businesses, leading high-impact product development, and driving innovation. I was an early team member at RightNow Technologies, contributing to its growth past IPO and later acquisition for $1.5B. I also founded and successfully exited multiple businesses, including Que Ver, LLC and DropTrip. My expertise spans Node.js, JavaScript, Ruby, AI-driven solutions, and intellectual property strategy.
I thrive in fast-paced, high-impact environments and love pushing the boundaries of what technology can achieve.
