About Me

I'm D.J. Collier, I live in the Washington, D.C. metro area and currently work at Counterpoint Consulting as a Principal Solution Consultant. Before joining Counterpoint, I co-founded a startup for ordering from restaurants called Foodio, based in Charlottesville, VA.

I am currently interested in learning more about TypeScript, Design Systems, Accessability, data visualizations, new UI frameworks like Svelte and Solid, and new languages in general.

I attended the University of Virginia where I double majored in Systems Engineering and Mathematics. While at UVa I took courses on Human Machine Interfaces, Software Development, Statistics, Psychology, and Linear Modeling & Optimizations.
