About

My 26-year career has lived at the intersection of web development, computer science, and the psychology of human-computer interaction. As a lead full stack architect I’ve designed and implemented software applications that run critical business processes. As a UX lead I have shepherded design system creation, influenced organizational culture shifts towards usability and user research as core activities, and bridged the gap between designers and developers. I’m also an educator, coach, mentor, and communicator. I’m a Pluralsight author instructing both advanced web development topics and product design and user research. I’ve been a top Udemy instructor for a decade, teaching 370,000 students web development fundamentals. I'm proud to say that thousands of developers credit their career to my courses. I have 24 years of public speaking experience from small workshops to large conferences. I post about AI, web software development, UX, coaching and mentorship, and the importance of having deep understanding in the age of AI.
