What motivates you to do your best work?
In SaaS, it's like juggling puzzle pieces – big vision, intricate code. But the ultimate reward? Seeing it all click together. That's what motivates me – transforming ideas into reality, one piece at a time.

Morning or Evening?
Morning person? In a parallel universe, maybe. With two tornadoes (affectionately known as kids) running around, mornings are pure chaos. Give me peace, quiet, and a good drink – that's my evening prime time!
