I'm a self-taught nerd with a passion for learning. I thrive in adversity and stagnate in comfort. I push boundaries. Give me a challenge, and I won't stop until mastery is achieved. I can dive into the technical details, but I am also passionate about culture, sales, recruiting, and all of the other subtle human elements of business. I love leading teams and delight in creating sophisticated technology solutions with an eye on design and user experience. My Specialties: * Translating business goals into elegant technology solutions * Recruiting, leading, and managing software development and marketing teams * Development, security, performance, and operations of high performance web applications * Business intelligence, analysis, and fraud mitigation
