3 stars

I’m a full stack developer and have been using .NET for backend and your regular HTML, CSS, javascript, react for front end.

Nowadays, technical skills are on the lower-end of the spectrum for me in terms of learning. I love learning instead about leadership topics and other soft skills like communication, team alignment and working with various people.

I run Dev Together in Madison, WI, a local group focused on mentoring early-career devs by connecting them with professional mentors through low-commitment, in-person, high-value events.

I love to talk about leadership, building teams, and mentoring.
