I have more than a decade of development experience, am a big believer in Agile methodologies, and have a knack for seeing the big picture. If you think I would make a good addition to your team, check out my résumé:

Not convinced yet? Then keep reading!I have managed projects and products ranging in size from enterprise applications with multiple data sources and hundreds of users, to smaller, one-off utility applications. Every project is different, and requires you to bring your A-game.
I've written a short narrative on a couple of projects that I managed that were highly successful. They are gists on GitHub.
Why use GitHub for these? Well, if you so choose, you can look at the history to see how the narrative has developed over time. I am not afraid to show my scars.What makes me tick? My girls. That's why I do what I do. Most people will lie, and say they like solving problems, and making new things. But for me, it's them.
Wait? What? I know; this is my "résumé" site. Is it wise to say stuff like that? It just so happens that I freaking love what I do. Most people don't get the chance to make money doing something that they love. I do. And I think that's pretty damn cool.
I have a passion for the web. I don't see this as a J-O-B. I see this as a career. A calling. People turn to the internet for SO many things, and it's THE platform that has, and will continue to change the world.
A web application, marketing site, blog, whatever it is, should be more than just a pretty face. It should function well. Intuitively. And it should be beautiful.
Sadly, I work in an industry that has lost that passion. "It works, ship it" is something that has been said too many times. I hate it, and it needs to die (along with the "Above the fold" myth).
That's me on the left. And I think the other two are pretty awesome.
