Complexity doesn't scare me. It's usually where the interesting work is.

Good design, to me, is a lot like a well-built system: every piece has a reason to be there, and when it all fits together, it just works.

I'm a problem solver by nature. At home that looks like fixing the plumbing or building furniture from scratch. At work it looks like untangling a 47-state interaction into something a person can actually use without thinking twice.
