Currently I am using my powers to help physical mail delivery suck a little bit less as Vice President of Technology at Earth Class Mail. The product technology stack includes C#/.NET, Ruby on Rails, client-side JavaScript, and a mixture of Amazon Web Services.
For the better part of 2015 I was lending a helping hand to a few early and growth stage startups in Chicago; improving product development processes, recruiting and building product teams, and adding technical vision to strategic conversations.
In the previous chapter of my life, I was redefining the textbook industry for both students and publishers at Packback as the Head of Engineering.
Prior to joining the Packback team I helped transition the recently acquired TrainSignal into the trusting hands of Pluralsight. At TrainSignal I served four years as the technology team leader, product owner, and an engineer where I contributed a fair amount of C#, JavaScript & PHP code. I also flexed my UX muscles to design and build a game changing subscription based online learning platform for IT professionals.
