Compassion for Customers

Software usability is critical to end user satisfaction. Taking the time to consider and review how customers see and use the software being developed is a step that is often ignored in developing software.

I think it's essential to develop processes that allow your organization to focus on customer needs and experience.

Data-driven Applications That Scale

I've found that scaling has many more dimensions than performance at high loads.

How does technology scale down to small, simple projects? How about scaling to hundreds of developers working together productively in parallel on a single project?

Years of experience developing applications that serve entire industries provides the experience necessary to develop applications in a fast, secure and efficient manner.

Full Stack

My passion is in understanding customer needs and architecting systems to serve them.

With comprehensive knowledge of the Linux shell and environment, strong networking fundamentals, strong command of SQL, and strong logic skills for programming, I perform best deep within a typical software stack.

Understanding the strengths and limits of every component in the entire software/hardware stack allows for efficient, effective system design often at shockingly low cost.

Agile Development Philosophy

Customer collaboration over contract negotiation.

Structuring application development into layered, modular designs allow for rapid development and tool reuse.

Structuring programming in this way allows for dramatic leveraging of technologies across multiple industries. Increased flexibility lets customer needs get met faster at lower cost.

People before Technology.
