About Me

Driven by my curious nature, I strive to find the what and why of the world around me. When I was little I used to take everything apart to see how every piece fit together and why it was necessary. Now that I am older I have a better toolkit and approach problems with the same passion and curiosity. I love to solve complicated business and user challenges with delightful and simple to use solutions as a organization, as a team, or on my own.
