ABOUT ME
I am a senior software engineer/team-lead/software architect and software evangelist. I am excited about my work and the absolutely amazing advances happening everyday in the developer’s behind-the-scenes world within computing. I take a research-scientist attitude toward everyday tasks, and compile and distribute technical findings and solutions as they are relevant to the team and larger software community. I am a practicing student of software craftsmanship, Kathy Sierra, Edward Tufte, and human-computer-interaction. Giving users the ability to be awesome is a primary directive in my work. I am interested in how the technologies of IoT, Mobile, and VR will shape the use of Ruby/Rails, .NET, NoSQL, and cloud DevOps. My interest and expertise are also held in the areas of enterprise architecture/SOA, business analysis, “backend” complex requirement solutions, mentorship and development of under-represented members of the software industry, and helping kids learn to program.

Rails has a strong opinion about how websites work. Your business has it's own strong opinion and view of the world. Marrying these two opinionated forces can be really tough at times! You're looking for some guidance, a place to break-through the sea of Models, Views, and Controllers and pin down the code that's causing your site to be slow or intermittently broken. I'm ready to guide your team in regaining control and leveling-up their expertise in test-driven development, modularization, and database design, all in the goal of making your end-users feel like their doing an awesome job!

Has your development team been working extra hours, yet falling behind in expected features, all the while chasing an increasing list of bugs? Meanwhile as business leader, the market forces are changing under your feet and you can't seem to control the development of your application to meet those needs. I can coach your team in the practice of the agile and scrum processes, and on how the parts of the agile methodology fit together to form an effective communication channel between the business owners and your development efforts.

I am a git evangelist of sorts. I have performed several conversions of "old school" version-control systems (SVN) to git. I am ready to help your team perfect your "flow" around how you use version control, how you use branches and perform merges, and ultimately how you control your "master" trunk version of the code to provide an effective history and "what's new" for your application.
