Front End Web & Game Developer

Let’s make cool stuff!

I’m a front end web and game developer with 10+ years experience ranging from small creative studios to large corporations. My ambition is to create interactive experiences that bring people joy and solve problems. I take pride in my work and want to leave the web better than I found it. I’m looking to collaborate with a team of innovative professionals who are dedicated to their craft.
