Started in project management, now builds it myself.
Ran web and mobile products as a manager: scoped tasks, signed off on designs, kept things on schedule. Later started closing those tasks himself.
- I know how a business need turns into a spec and a release — I used to run that process as a manager, now I take it through to code myself.
- Nothing gets lost between scoping, building and shipping.
- I talk to clients in terms of deadlines and tasks, not just code.
