Hi, I'm James.
I'm a product-minded web developer who designs and builds software people enjoy using. Most of my work sits at the crossroads of design, engineering, and product thinking.
I've worked in product management and operations, but I'm happiest hands-on: shaping ideas, designing flows, writing code, and shipping things that feel good to use.
A bit about me
I have had a long and varied career in technology, starting out as a C developer, then moving into full-stack web development. Along the way, I became curious about how tech businesses are built, which pulled me into the world of lean startup and product management.
I joined an exciting startup called DigitalBridge as Head of Product where were building 3D and Augmented Reality for home improvement retailers. I was later promoted to COO, leading the senior management team and helping shape how the company operated.
More recently, I co-founded Lemon, a fintech company in the financing space. I jumped back in the hands-on coding, working alongside our CTO to build the product, and in the process, rediscovered again how much I love building! These days I'd call myself a product engineer: someone who still thinks like a product person, but can jump straight into code to bring ideas to life.
