Summary

Veteran software engineer with broad experience in automation, virtualization, various languages and platforms, performance analysis, etc. -- all the tools to get the job done.

I've been programming since I was in the 7th grade, and 20 years professionally. I am self-taught, so I have a knack for staying up with current technology and quickly adapting. I understand architecture at a low level, and am passionate about well-designed, robust software. My automation background comes from being the primary developer on a very large server application with little resources to support it, so, every task that could be automated, had to be. Ruby has been my automation language of choice, though I anticipate Go replacing it where performance is concerned.

I like solving problems big and small, so, I'm glad to work with students; though businesses and other developers stand to benefit the most from working with me.
