About Me
Writer, developer, and Scrum Master in Chicago

Hello there!
I'm a seasoned Scrum Master and aspiring developer based in Chicago, with over 17 years of experience in agile project management and software development. My background combines technical expertise with a passion for creative problem-solving and effective team leadership.
I specialize in web development with a focus on clean, accessible design and old-web simplicity. My approach to projects balances technical requirements with user experience, ensuring that the final product is both functional and enjoyable to use. I believe that good technology should feel intuitive and even a bit magical.
When I'm not managing sprints or coding, you can find me writing fiction, exploring Chicago's vibrant neighborhoods, or diving into the latest developments in web technology. I'm particularly interested in the intersection of storytelling and technology, finding ways to bring narrative experiences to life through code.
My professional journey includes extensive experience working with remote and offshore teams, having collaborated with developers across multiple time zones and cultural contexts. This global perspective has shaped my approach to project management and communication, allowing me to effectively bridge gaps and foster productive collaboration.
I believe in creating technology that's accessible, functional, and has just the right touch of whimsy. I'd love to collaborate on bringing your digital projects to life with a blend of technical expertise and creative vision.
