Hello Mastoverse - I am looking for full-time work!

I'm a full-stack developer with a focus on data visualization and UI/UX. I love to partner with subject matter experts, building upon their research to create tools for a broad audience. I work well with data science teams to translate models, metrics, and analytics into full-fledged web applications.

Please reach out if you know of any companies where this would be a good fit!
