About Me

Hello!

I'm Joachim Hill-Grannec.

Whether we're talking about welding, software development, dancing, etc. I've probably been involved in some version of it. I've architected modern global scale apps, mobile experiences and led teams on hundred million dollar projects. I bring experience with process and tools improvements, configuration and growth management.

I currently split my time between NYC and Seattle!

I love to geek out about creating/inspiring teams which value empathy, mastery, and communication.

These days, Flutter has grabbed my attention, but I'm still coaching folks in Native Android/iOS

Cloudy things

My Skills

Things To Know
