About Me

My passion is to not only engineer an elegant, usable, and useful interface, but to team with Engineering and Product Management to get the software developed and released. My background in software development means that "I speak dev". I am as comfortable talking about front-end code as I am designs: JavaScript, jQuery, CSS, HTML5, C#, MVVM, MVC, KnockoutJS, LESS, git/BitBucket, Linq.

Understand your customers and their goals, your business/brand needs, and the capabilities and limitations of your UI coding system, and you have a launch pad for innovation.

I believe in a multi-disciplinary approach to design, folding in the best creative ideas from all parties, identifying design and performance issues early while still pushing the envelope of what we can provide to customers. This generates buy-in and a feeling of ownership and even enthusiasm from all teams, increasing quality and productivity. It's not just what you build, it's why you build it.

► User Centered Design processes: task analysis, wireframes, iterative designs
► Scrum and Kanban methodologies; JIRA
► Interactive prototypes to communicate designs
► Have administered global remote usability tests

Whether your customers are system administrators or regular end-users, I will apply extensive attention to detail and professionalism to their customer journey.
