Patrick Noonan

Hi, I'm Patrick

I'm a developer turned engineering manager. I've been building for the web for over 15 years — started writing HTML and CSS, now I lead a team of five shipping websites, apps, APIs, and internal tools. I still stay close to the code. Our current stack is Vue and Nuxt with TypeScript up front, .NET on the back end, and SQL Server for the data.

Outside of work you'll find me on a paddleboard, tinkering with networking and electronics projects, or being bossed around by my dogs. Family guy, tea drinker, book reader, and always looking for the simpler way to do things.
