Self-employed

  • Mar 2017 - Oct 2017

  Los Angeles Most of my career has been in consumer goods, and after working at Seedling, where I helped develop an augmented reality plush bear, I took up an interest in software development and gaming. To get the skills I needed to pivot into that industry, I studied Agile, Scrum, and Kanban, and pursued my Scrum Master certification. I also managed several personal projects, including a large home renovation.
