As a leader and educator in both the global PHP community and Portland’s thriving tech sector, I am committed to inspiring developers by authoring and presenting technical training, both in person and online. I’m eager to collaborate on a team dedicated to improving communications through the use of technology and personal connection. Solving puzzles and making lives better through the use of empathy in technology? Yes Please! Building technology is about building community.

As a designer and developer, I take ideas from concept to delivery. Print shop and design experience, combined with 15+ years of web development, allows me to help develop the “big picture” and how all pieces of marketing fit together; from logo to complex online presence. Determining the best tools for the job and executing on those tools in a timely and cost-effective manner.
