## About

A broad area of expertise with a focus on front-end design is what really sets me apart.

It's hard to find someone who specializes cutting edge product design who also excels in system architecture.

I am driven by a desire to transform complex problems into fast, simple, and elegant solutions.

I'm not afraid to take the most menial tasks to help my team succeed.

With over ten years experience in ecommerce and data management systems, choosing the right design pattern and architecture comes naturally.

If you get excited about solving big problems in a beautiful way, I'd love to chat: danielruhl@gmail.com
