Difficult Problems, Solved.
Approach
My approach to programming is the number one thing others notice about me. With formal training in graphic design and a sense of emotional empathy, I'm able to quickly relate to others and understand their needs. Tech skills are what I take pride in, but people come first in any business.
Standards
Strong opinions are important in software, but it's easy to miss the forest for the trees. Some behaviors are easily defined, and should be enforced with automated tests. Other behaviors are hard to nail down and need to be anticipated. In either case, building software that conforms to user expectations is critical.
Technology
Tech stacks can be incredibly polarizing, even among long time programmers. Experience and exploration allow me to consistently choose technologies that are well suited for the task at hand, rather than relying on dogmatic adherence to one framework or language.
