• 3 years of MongoDB práctica, plus a hunger for what's next
• A Civic Engagement Corp mindset: scrappy today, scalable tomorrow
• Enough Vue.js to be dangerous, enough Webpack to be trusted
• A history of leaving technology processes better than you found them
• The integrity to flag your own mistakes first
