I've been passionate about saving the planet from a young age. Once I became a software developer, I did not hesitate to use my skills to help create the technological solutions we need to execute on our mission of raising funds for vetted environmentally focused charities. My expertise in web development and system architecture powers We Save The World's child-friendly fundraising systems that connect young environmental advocates with tools that allow them to make a real, lasting change. I can't wait to continue helping We Save the World educate and inspire the next generation of Eco-Heroes!
