Professional Bio
After I lost my passion for playing professional poker, I found a new one in software development. Both require critical thinking, problem solving, and can result in the exhilaration of success. But programming comes with the satisfaction of helping both the client and the world at large. I've built software that makes it easy to sign an NDA, helps carriers track their cargo, and lets people catch a ride. I'm smart, committed and reliable, and I love working in Ruby on Rails for its ease of use and ability to rapidly prototype and build MVPs. I enjoy riding my motorcycle, playing table tennis, and meditating.
