Software Engineer & Design

I am currently employed full-time by GaryVaynerchuk as a software engineer, where I am regarded as a bit of a unicorn due to my diverse skill set. My previous position was as an assistant to the creative director of Big Night, where I participated in meetings with high-profile individuals in the hospitality industry and primarily designed concepts and deck proposals. I have a strong graphic design background, allowing me to produce beautiful presentation decks. Additionally, I have a strong proficiency in tech, having founded two tech companies and developed them from the ground up. I am able to work in fast-paced environments and adapt to whatever comes my way.
