Traveling with the family

I'm currently taking time away from full-time work to travel in Europe with my family. I'm definitely interested in living & working in Europe again, so if you think you'd like to work with me, please reach out.
Starting in 2014, I worked with an awesome group of engineers to modernize and then develop all aspects of the CreativeLive website and apps. I became Director of Engineering in 2016, which allowed me to work with the exec team and learn a ton about long-term planning, goal setting, and leadership.
Built out the current version of the website and web app for theBoardlist, which is a professional network that facilitates placing women on company boards.
I built this as a way to keep track of my Bitcoin transactions, which are spread across a few different wallets and exchanges.
I worked with a startup based in Cambridge, MA for a few years. We made an app that lets consumers send a message to any business in North America and get a text response in minutes. I built the consumer website, a web application for our call center, and the Android app. I also do anything else that needs doing.
I worked with a Designer to build out the Kobo Funds website over a two month period in the summer of 2013.
I took some time off in 2008 to be a volunteer English teacher in Chile. For six months, I taught at Liceo Polivalente Hernando de Magallanes in Porvenir, which is a small town on the Tierra del Fuego. After that, I traveled for six months, starting in Antarctica and then making my way north along the Andes.
I made two versions of the Yahoo! home page back in the day (2004) while working in Sunnyvale, CA. In 2006, I transferred to the London, UK office and worked on the European sites. I also worked on the Starbucks Digital Network project in late 2010 doing mostly mobile web development.
