Lead by day.
Building by night.

I lead development for clients, and ship my own products on the side.

About

I lead a development team building software for clients, and spend my evenings shipping small products of my own.

I care about systems that stay simple as they grow, interfaces that get out of the way, and work that holds up after it ships. If you're deciding who should lead a serious build, the projects below are the argument.
