ABOUT ME
Software Architect and Entrepreneur.
Software Architect and Entrepreneur.
I'm a global Agile/ Extreme Programming (XP) coach that helps people and organizations improve their software quality and technical practices. When you're working with me, you're working to deliver astonishing results and change the nature of what's possible for you and your customers.
If you want to move beyond WHAT to do, into WHY it works that way AND you care most about writing HIGH QUALITY software we'll be a great match.
In my free time I travel, snowboard, fly airplanes, and work on classic cars.
If I can't help you with your code in the first 30 minutes, you'll get a refund.

I have worked as a team member, team lead, and Architect building the test delivery platform at Pearson VUE, the worlds largest computer based testing company.
When writing Java I focus on clean code implementations, meaning the code is as simple as possible (focused) with careful attention paid to code style (expressive), pre and post condition validation, testing, and refactoring to DRY.

Absolutely hire him. He is so knowledgeable and eager to go beyond! I wish I can be half a programmer as he is.

Thanks a lot for the prompt support for mySQL + Docker. It was really helpful and I'm very glad to be able to know the root cause with your support.
Also, I really appreciate with your support for the basic understanding of docker concept :)

Dale was engaged and knowledgeable with Angular. He helped lead a pragmatic debugging process that was very helpful in our root cause analysis effort.

Didn't help and had no concept of HOC. wasted my time and he did mention to not charge if he was unable to help with my Test. However, he when ahead and did charge $100 just for talking. Great at talking. lack of expirence on React and Unit-test

Dale is very knowledgeable and thorough in his explanations. He is a great teacher!! His experience shows by the way he approaches the problem faced without even having to read too much into the code. I like the fact that he did not just take control of my mouse to make changes, he walked me through my issues by providing alternatives and justifying best options. Then he asked me to make other changes "independently" and asked me to explain my thought process to validate the decisions before running the code.
I will definitely use him again in the future

Great first session with Dale! We used an alpha-level language, so some trip-ups, but I found it enlightening.

Dale is extremely knowledgable about AngularJS and front-end architecture as a whole. He was able to succinctly pin point possible sources to my issue without truly understanding all of the code base. I'm impressed by his abilities and would recommend him to anyone. Extremely pleasant, realistic and professional. I would enjoy working with him as a peer as well.
