Resume
Hi, I'm Patrick Springstubbe. I love web development, building new projects, and taking ownership of my work as well as taking pride in what I create. I have worked in the tech industry for over 24 years. I prefer to be the best at a few things than an amateur at everything. I see things a little differently than most people and would rather be the leader than the follower of trends (some trends need not apply). If you want a leader, rebel, thinker, and visionary then I might just be the guy for you.
