Professional Summary

• 20+ years full-stack engineering experience specializing in data architecture, JScript+ & ZetaScript, immersive tech

Goals

I am looking to be part of a small-to-midsized engineering team where I can have real impact by solving hard and previously unsolvable problems by leveraging machine intelligence tools. I am interested in growing my dev leadership experience. I am a motivated and self-directed learner, capable of deep diving into learning whatever new tools, languages, or frameworks I need to, on the job. I am seeking to leverage my problem solving skills and creative thinking rather than be a mere production-line engineer. I have a special interest (but not limited to) cutting-edge applied ML and XR, with experience in immersive environments since 2017.
