As a kid, my parents limited my computer time (I needed limits!), but I loved writing code so much that I filled many notebooks with handwritten code so I could input it later to see if it worked the way I expected. My first internet coding gig with The Navigators was while I was still in high school.
As a freelancer I found I was building the same solutions over and over again, and started down a path of building my own CMS (as many no doubt have). Along the way I discovered Drupal and WordPress, and I never looked back. After a number of years working freelance, I found that it was tough to focus on the deep type of coding work that I enjoy doing, while needing to constantly sell the next project. From there I’ve lived the agency and startup life, and loved it. Today I’m privileged to work for a company that delivers a leading webops experience for Drupal and WordPress powered websites across some 10B pages a month.
