About Me

Hey, my name is Paul May.

I’m hacking my way through life. Sometimes I consult companies about tech-stack and review their projects. I write about development, web specs, and about problems I faced and how to solve them.

I have been participating in conferences, meetups, webinars and so on as a speaker and spoken about development, team formation and project management from dev perspective. Also, I’m always happy to be a mentor or a judge on hackathons. I already took part in more than 10 hacks such as McHacks, SF Hacks, and LA Hacks.
