My Story

I'm a technical problem-solver with broad experience in mobile and web software development at Disney (and elsewhere), seasoned with a background in system administration and tech support for companies such as Apple and Netscape. I write documentation in code comments and wiki articles for every problem I figure out. What can I do for your team?
