In their words
How would you describe your ideal next role?
I've really enjoyed working for a number of early stage startups over the past 10 years. I appreciate solving tough challenges and wearing many hats. I'm looking for a team with a supportive culture that are focused primarily on building a product that aims to help change the world for the better.
How would you describe your professional background?
I discovered my passion for programming and design while attending classes for Visual Basic and Photoshop in high school. I'm also a lifelong fan of video games, since my first console as a kit - a classic Nintendo Entertainment System. I still remember the magic of picking up that controller and making Mario run and jump across the screen (occasionally to his untimely death). This sparked my earliest interest in my field and led to a long standing career.
How would you describe your ideal next employer?
I've been happiest at companies around 2-10 people in size. I strongly believe that paired with a strong backend/devops developer I could help build just about anything. I'm most familiar with BaaS/SaaS or open source.
Are there specific companies you're targeting?
I'm a huge advocate for open source
Anything else to add?
I proudly serve as the creator and core maintainer for Skeleton (skeleton.dev), a free and open source design system solution for Tailwind, and turnkey component library for Svelte and React. I've helped grow the project from zero to 150k downloads/month and an inclusive community of over 2k members over the past few years.
