Funny you mention that last part. Here's my background, FAQ-style: Q: Experience? 20+ years. Started 2003 in Green Bay, WI doing .NET CRM work for the dairy industry (Land O'Lakes / White Clover Dairy). Q: Anything large-scale? 2007-2010, maintained the online classroom platform at University of Phoenix -- 400,000 students. Learned what "scale" means the hard way. >> Bonus points for unconventional life experience. 2010-2011: quit, bought a motorcycle, rode it 20,000 miles solo from Arizona to Argentina. Took 8 months. Wrote a memoir about it ("Anxiety Across the Americas"). Recruiters tend to remember this part. Q: More recent stuff? 2016-2017: DAT Solutions -- built "Load Board" (Android) + Node.js APIs from scratch. 2017-2019: Cvent -- led the React Native pilot, made Tech Lead in 6 months, built a Storybook component library, hosted local meetups. 2019-2024: New Relic -- led migration of 50+ screens from Java/XML to Kotlin/Jetpack Compose for the mobile observability platform. CI got noticeably calmer afterward. 2024-present: eBay -- item discovery & offer mgmt, sales analytics, coupon systems. Also integrating GitHub Copilot / Cline / Claude Code into team workflow. Q: Education? B.S. Computer Science + B.S. Philosophy, Saint Norbert College, 2000-2004. The philosophy degree comes up more than you'd expect during incident reviews. Q: Skills?
