I suspected I was living in a Dilbert cartoon and wrote a Ruby script to find out.
This is the gem (https://github.com/dogweather/ruby-quality-report)'s output. It pretty much confirmed my hunch:

ABOUT ME
Expert software developer
Expert software developer
I've been in programming since Python was the "new" language in a Perl world. I've developed image editing software and network apps, working for companies large and small, from tiny startups to European Union research projects.
I love Python, and I also love learning new languages and the ideas they bring. I do lots of work in Ruby, Rails, Haskell, and Docker.
I live in Boulder with my partner and two dogs, longboarding and snowboarding when I'm not programming.
I cannot give legal advice via codementor, but I can answer general questions about licensing, copyright, trademarks, and other intellectual property.

I use Docker in development for most of my projects, and all of my client work. I can set up a dev environment with just one line and be productive within minutes. I've got a couple of popular repos with sample configurations:

As a Principal Software Engineer at CareFirst Blue Cross Blue Shield, I lead key initiatives to enhance the patient experience through improved application delivery and streamlined processes. My role involves collaborating closely with infrastructure teams to resolve critical production issues, ensuring both system stability and high service quality. By introducing significant process improvements, I have effectively mitigated various security vulnerabilities, addressed database design flaws, and eliminated timezone-related errors that were impacting service reliability.
In addition to technical leadership, I also guide the engineering team in identifying risks and optimizing quality. My efforts include reducing defect rates in contractor-delivered work by leveraging custom reporting and data-driven insights. I also act as a mentor, fostering a culture of continuous learning through architecture consensus building, outage retrospectives, and best practice education. These contributions have solidified my role as a leader in enhancing both the technical capabilities and the collaborative dynamics of the team.

I work part-time for my profitable Startup, steadily increasing income by building front-end features with JQuery/Javascript, and backend services with a number of technologies.
My apps reliably serve 500,000 webpages with 1.2M pageviews per month — allowing me plenty of extra time to help other companies move up to the next level.
Thank you for your consideration!
