After moving to the DC area in 2001, he built content management systems for enterprise clients including the World Bank Institute, the Washington City Paper, and the National Association of Attorneys General.

“I love to approach an application holistically; I consider its technical, business, and user requirements, then translate all those needs into a functional model.”

He earned a BA in Politics from the University of California, Santa Cruz.
