My Story

I've been in the software engineering field since 1985. From my first job through to today, I've been passionate about solving the hard problems in software development. My approach is clearly pragmatic and practical. I've worked at companies from small start-ups to large corporations in a variety of vertical markets.

I've spent many years with one leg in user interface design, and the other leg in back-end development. These days that means I spend most of my time digging into web development with a variety of tools from ASP.NET Core and Node.js, to JavaScript, TypeScript, and SPA frameworks like Angular and Vue.
