I don't do half-ass.
Only full-ass.
I'm a "fullstack" kind of guy. Obsessed with startups, software and engineering, I mostly like to build stuff. As an engineer my focus is primarily on modern micro-service architectures, Javascript SPAs, REST/GraphQL APIs, high-traffic applications as well as DevOps (the whole stack). As an entrepreneur, I started building companies when I was 14 and never looked back.

Started building companies when I was 14 yo
While I've always loved computers, I thought it was mind bending to be able to build something from thin air by learning to program. I immediately started taking online classes to learn every web programming language under the sun. I started building websites for local businesses and my first company was born.
Commercializing a physical product, the Spalock (WIP)
After placing a patent pending on the invention, I started finding manufacturers to build a lock for your spa or Jacuzzi. Now my first production order is being manufactured and I am currently preparing branding and distribution. Stay tuned.
Building a prospecting SAAS tool, Ranger (WIP)
I'm currently working on a web based SAAS company to allow sales representatives to find contact and social information on a potential prospect. It's always a pain to find the right email to get a hold of the right person. Now it only costs you a monthly payment.
