After university 🎓and stints as a 🕺and 👨🍳, he returned to his tech roots and still enjoys developing software for real life applications. With more than 20 years of experience in the software industry, Joe is a hands-on developer who has led teams both small and large, most recently at Groupon and IDEO Chicago. Joe enjoys paddleboarding 🏄♂️, 🚵🏼, and other activities that may lead to broken bones 🤕. He lives on a small farm 🚜in Washington state with his wife 👩🏼🌾, their 👦🏼👦🏼👦🏼, and a bunch of 🐈🐕🐓.
Joe's Most Relatable UpCity Value:
Trustworthy. Trust just makes life simpler. It’s a shortcut to action. It takes too much extra time and energy to work with someone you can’t trust.
