He combines hands-on coding (front- and back-end) with strengths in requirements gathering, wireframing, documentation, and change management, often moving projects from concept to production. Recent roles include senior development at National Aerospace Solutions and Beyond New Horizons, and a period as an independent technical consultant contributing to open-source projects and MDN documentation.
