Welcome!

I’m Tanner, a senior back end developer and sometimes freelancer. I’ve worked across tech stacks, and for clients of various industries, large and small, but these days I spend most of my time advancing merchants’ presence on the web with Shopify and related technologies.

Through my career, my values have shifted around some simple principles:

  • The shortest path between A and B is always a straight line.
  • The permanent competitive advantage is always: really really giving a shit
  • It’s always okay to be you ;)

If you want to get in touch, send me an email or add a comment on any of my posts!
