let’s build data-driven interactive experiences, distributed globally, to help people get their work done

Hi people! I have been trying to help professionals with their digitized data since across upwards of companies.

The Observable Plot chart, “years of experience,” shown below is a convenient visualization of my journey. Optionally, you can view the Observable notebook behind this chart.

years of experience

years of skill building

The table below is a selection of my skills broken down in résumé 📜 time. Scrolling down the rows of the table takes us back in time as skills appear and develop. Scrolling horizontally takes us forward through the organizations I’ve met over time. For example, it may look like my .NET experience is only about five years old but, as you scroll down you will see that my .NET Framework experience adds almost 20 years of experience. It can be a misunderstanding in the unmaking🙂

Also, you can type a keyword to filter the table down by skill name:
