Hi, I'm Shawn. As a Lead Engineer at Cantina, I’m primarily tasked with front-end web development. I work mainly with Javascript but have experience with other programming languages. At Cantina, I’ve worked on a diverse collection of projects but most have skewed towards the finance and education sectors - sometimes both at once. These projects have ranged from an award-winning investment data tools for financial advisors to a first-of-its-kind financial literacy application for young adults.

Prior to Cantina, I worked in a wide range of industries from defense contractors to social and dating networks. While these experiences were fruitful, nothing has been quite as challenging and fulfilling as the work we do at Cantina.

For even the very wise cannot see all ends.

If I could jump into a career path aside from tech, I would be working in the film or music industry. There’s something about being performative, either live or recorded, that is really alluring. I love traveling, going camping and the outdoors. I also enjoy playing with prediction engines, deciphering sports handicapping and tinkering with my car.
