About Me

I'm a software engineer, currently working as a web developer in Santa Clara, CA. I'm very passionate about technology and its ability to improve the world we live in, which is why I spent 5 years leading a team in developing award winning robots for NASA. I believe that people are the world's greatest resource, and unlocking the human potential is the key to a better future. I'm hardworking, dedicated, and determined to succeed, however I appreciate failures and the experience they provide. I aim to surround myself with passionate, optimistic people who aren't afraid to think big and share a vision. I have an entrepreneurial spirit, and like to work on projects that focus on untapped markets and aim for long term, exponential impact. My current area of interest is in machine learning and artificial intelligence. If you're a like-minded individual or could use someone like me on your team, I'd love to hear from you! You can find me on Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn, or you can email me at headley.justin@gmail.com.
