This doc is an aspirational description of how I'd like to lead teams and work towards their mission. You are the audience. I hope this doc helps you know what I'm striving for and so you can give me feedback and we can work together to meet your goals. I'm interested in all ways I can raise the quality bar of my own work that will benefit you.

TL;DR

I want to support you through your work and growth. I hope to be open, direct, and reliable. We'll both make mistakes along the way and that's ok if we reflect and grow from it. I appreciate specific feedback delivered in a timely, kind way and will work to provide this to you, too.

You make our team and company better

I aim to work in service of you as an individual practitioner, your career, and of our engineering practice. To do that well, a trusting, empowering, supportive relationship between us is among my top priorities. I measure my success by both the outcomes from the engineering work and the strength and job satisfaction of our team.

Hello!

I am a senior web developer from the beautiful, beloved state of New Jersey. I currently work for Lab Zero Innovations, a digital consultancy based in San Francisco, working in various front end technologies and building tools for Fortune 10 clients.

With over 9 years of professional web development experience and an additional decade of graphic design work under my belt, I have expertise in a wide variety of obscure and often obtuse technologies. This often comes in handy when I'm trying to learn new obscure and obtuse technologies.

My goal as a developer is to build tools that are useful, engaging, elegant and leave the world a better place than I found it. My personal projects such as selfcare.tech and the text-based game engine, Plastic, are all rooted in this core mission.

	/* This adds a faked lightbox shadow background to a block-level element, reducing the need to add separate wrapper divs. It's a bit hacky, but works great for doing mockups without having to implement fancybox/lightbox etc. javascript.

	NOTES:
	- The spread radius can be adjusted as needed, if page may go wider/taller than 2000px.
	- Opacity and color can be adjusted before finalizing the scripting.
	- The z-index of element may require adjustment.
	- Items in the background will still be live/clickable.
	- This will only work in browsers that support box-shadow, of course, so most versions of Chrome/Firefox/Opera and IE 9 or later (unless a polyfill is used)
