I thrive in a creative and vigorous atmosphere where my coding skills and interpersonal skills are put in action. I spent 4 years designing and building apps from zero to launch, and now work on the mobile infrastructure @Houzz. This has given me experience with the entire life cycle of web and mobile apps, both on iOS and Android. From my entrepreneurial mindset I bring self discipline, courage, and open-mindedness, while my passion for coding remains constant. I write Swift code every day.

I love playing and watching football. I read the Wall Street Journal daily, the Economist weekly. Every day I learn something new on the technology I use, whether from medium.com, WWDC videos or one of the many swift newsletters I have subscribed to. And of course, I love to hang out with my wife and our two amazing daughters.
