I'm a problem solver at heart. I've spent the last four years at PayPal working on a variety of interesting challenges, trying to find elegant solutions that make life easier for others, and teaching developers how to better use the tools available to them.

A case study in how PayPal revitalized its tech stack by moving from Java, JSP and proprietary solutions to node.js and dust.js templating. Developer agility was our primary motivation, but along the way we had to tackle enterprise culture and teach people that JavaScript is no longer a "toy", but a powerful tool to wield.
