I am a software developer and consultant based in the Portland, OR metro area. I specialize in Ruby, Golang, Elixir, flavors of JavaScript, other functional languages, and DevOps.

I am a senior consultant for testdouble where I’ve worked at a range of clients: from fast-scaling consumer fintechs to greenfield projects to deeply established clients with many decades of software experience.

Prior to software, I raced bikes professionally for more than a decade; winning two national championships along the way. I finished on the podium in another seven national championship events. I raced for the US National Team at the 1998 World Mountain Bike Championships, and on the road at Tour de la Somme (France), Kettler Classic (Austria), Fleche du Sud (Luxembourg), and numerous other engagements. Stateside I rode on the Jittery Joe’s professional cycling team where I was able to race in Redlands and the Tour of Georgia in 2004. Launching the Jittery Joe’s webstore and running their onsite event marketing was my entry point into digital marketing and e-commerce, which gave me the confidence and experience to dive into web development in 2006.
