Iain Black
Software Engineer
When I'm not coding, you'll probably find me golfing, rooting for my hometown Seattle Mariners, spending time with friends and family, or enjoying the outdoors. My passion is helping people improve their online footprint, which is why I've been steadily building a freelance business. I'm always looking for new opportunities to learn and grow, so if you have a project in mind, I'd love to hear about it!
