ORGANIZATION BUILDING / CULTURE

For 4 years, I was the fulltime CEO of MAGFest, a 4 day videogame music festival, as it grew exponentially from 2000 people to 20,000 in 5 years, building an office staff of 7 as it went, and expanding to run events on opposite coasts.

OTHER SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

I've built and maintained a lot of random software over the years, from videogames to one-off projects to ticketing / staff management software that has processed millions of dollars in transactions for MAGFest.

My experience having been CEO of MAGFest and a tools developer drives the design of my projects to be focused on the end user and creating value for the customer.  

I've been on all sides of software projects including being in the trenches coding and debugging arcane systems, being a project manager using Agile/Scrum methodologies, or bringing together a team of excited nerds to finish out a project.

Currently doing contracts using Mendix, a rapid low-code development that cuts out scaffolding to get web/native apps running extremely fast.

REAL ESTATE

I work with real estate business partners for commercial and industrial real estate projects. I specialize in deploying tech to hunt for data to find opportunities in otherwise saturated markets, prototyping with CAD, marketing/graphic design, and conducting financial analysis at lightning speeds.

And occasionally, doing fun stuff like making 3d models of real estate from drone flyovers.
