Dustin Bruce's Resume
Passionate about bringing ideas to life and eager to build great products. I'm interested and find joy in all aspects of building, from immersing myself in the backend codebase or flushing out a smooth UX on the front end to driving traffic with SEO/SEM and digital marketing.
I enjoy collaborative brainstorming and planning sessions with others to develop new or existing features and manage specifications to create cool and useful things. I'm always eager to learn about new tools, technologies, and solutions and have a knack for adapting to what's best for the job.
