Hi, I'm Buddy.
Senior software engineer with 20+ years shipping web products, most of it in Rails. I work across the stack, but I'm strongest on the frontend: component systems, UI/UX, and the conventions that keep a large codebase consistent as more people work in it.
Currently a senior software engineer at ClickFunnels, based in Spring Hill, TN. Away from the keyboard I'm usually reading fantasy/sci-fi, playing games on Steam, or hanging out with my wonderful family.

Kind words
“Buddy is the kind of team player who simply makes the whole team better. I've seen his humility and positive attitude transform very large, daunting tasks into projects that the team can confidently execute. … He's overcome genuinely puzzling, incredibly advanced front-end challenges that can at times seem like pure wizardry.”
“We were challenged with some pretty intense goals like getting a mobile app live in 3 weeks, moving the conversion rate aggressively through rapid iterative cycles … He made all of it FUN and possible while working as a true partner that communicated openly and directly while bringing options to the table.”
“You would be hard pressed to find a nicer, more competent, or diligent coworker than Buddy. His technical skill and commitment to delivering quality are matched only by his kindness. Buddy is on the short list of engineers I check in with when my company has open roles.”
