  Objective

I want to contribute to meaningful projects at a company I care about. 
I have 5 YOE working cross-functionally on teams working on integrations, support and technical solutions;
2 YOE leading a team of technical solutions;
and 1 YOE working as a software engineer (full-stack).
I enjoy fun and intuitive interaction and UI design, 
thinking about how to integrate front-end and back-end,
and learning new technologies and strategies to achieve these goals.
