Accomplished engineering leader; who loves the purple color.
purple is genius!

I like computers, problems, and using the former to solve the latter. I believe
in elegance over adequacy, thoughtfulness over impulse, and the wonder of the
world as we see it. I have been developing and designing web pages since the
early days of tables and spacers. And no – I’ve never used the scrolling marquee
with Comic Sans fonts.

backend, database, file storage, and, most importantly, as an authentication
