Summary

In my 18 years developing software, the field of technology and the options available to solve problems has progressed at an amazing pace. Thankfully I have an intense passion for learning new technology and applying it to solve problems. Not only do I enjoy learning the details and ramifications of whats new, but I have the experience to realize when something isn't ready for production, or is the wrong solution to solve the problem. Web application development has come far in the 12+ years that I have been in the field and I have used many different technologies , Java, PHP, Nodejs, Dojo, Angular, Vue etc. and integrated with dozens of 3rd party systems. I have been a developer, a team lead, an architect, and, off the side of my desk, I have done project management, dev management, dev ops and more. In the end, I do whatever needs doing to solve business problems with technology. I love building and solving.
