Over the last 20 years, I've developed dozens of productivity, e-commerce, and mobile apps for multiple Fortune 500 (and smaller) companies. As an entrepreneur, I've developed social media apps, games, and tools for nonprofit organizations. I like to solve problems. If I see something that can be automated, I jump on it. If I want something to exist in the world, I make it.
