I've spent the last fifteen years as an iOS developer, working across companies big and small on everything from children's music apps to blood coagulation analysis tools for medical professionals. Most recently I've helped built sportsbook and iGaming apps for Caesars, a comics reader for Marvel, and my own NFL trends app, Cappa, among many others.
Before iOS, I spent about five years in the game industry, mostly building casino games for Slingo. And before that, I started out as a multimedia developer, building interactive content for clients in the digital agency world. Then, I went back to school for a master's degree in computer science, and paid the bills teaching as an adjunct, as well as some freelance video-editing and app development work.
Outside of client work, I build my own apps, and produce videos from my many travels. I'm also a lifelong musician, big Las Vegas Raiders fan, and film obsessive. I'll watch anything the Rewatchable podcast covers. I live in northern NJ with my wife, my daughter (named after a Tim Burton character), and our Aussie labradoodle (also named after a Tim Burton character).

And after all this, I'll probably be remembered best by my peers for this video. It's the Developer Developer song, something I wrote and edited using some rather famous footage of Steve Ballmer, pre-Kawhi Leonard scandal. Ask anyone who worked at Jack Morton back in the day if they know this song, they probably will :')
