During my time with Weedmaps, I was a leader, mentor, and friend to everyone I had the pleasure of working with. I believe in the mission of connecting consumers and patients to the products they need, and the goal to bring legal cannabis to everyone. I worked on the consumer facing web products, built with React, Next.js, MobX, and Styled Components.
