Welcome to Brazen Careerist!

About Me

I am the execution-driven development manager at Brazen Careerist. Basically, my work involves balancing whatever the company and community see, hear, dream up, or sell and make it a reality through Brazen Careerist's site. Sometimes this means drawing up budgets, schedules, contracts, sometimes it means collaborating with our team of highly skilled developers, sometimes it means diving into code.

I started developing software at 13 years old, and throughout the years have worked for NMR/MRI researchers, cancer-related genetics researchers, a construction manufacturing & engineering company, and finally an online social media company. Making this shift from hardcore scientific development, to more and more business-related institutions has been a great experience... the same way I learned to build great software, I am also working on building great businesses.
