About Me

about me

I'm a software engineer with over 10 years of professional experience in the Software-as-a-Service space. My projects have reached tens of thousands of users and helped companies I've worked for increase their revenue exponentially. As lead developer and COO at FormAssembly.com I've led the development team from a two man operation to a group of over 10 developers and system engineers. My projects have led our growth year over year, positioning FormAssembly.com as a dominant figure in the hosted web form market space.

My spare time is taken up with quirkier projects like my scientific article relationship software, DoctorMoon, while I also fiddle about with electronics and do development work for friends.
