Writing software is fun. Especially large scale, complex web applications. I'm equally comfortable working on a strategy to help make an application scale to support orders of magnitude more users as developing a plan to make an application more intuitive for the users. I've been doing this long enough to be very flexible when it comes to languages and platforms.What drives me is technically challenging work that delivers business value.
In addition to the skills listed below, I also understand the language of "Business" very well. Often, I find myself serving a team as a translator between the business and the engineering teams.
As a manager, I enjoy mentoring leads & programmers and honing our skills together. I've successfully built teams from scratch as well as assumed leadership over existing teams. But I love writing software, so even if I am in a primarily management role, I'll find a way to contribute on a technical level. Regarding delivery, I'm a big fan of agile methodologies, microservices, and continuous delivery.

In the course of writing software or security policies, we often need to specifically allow some items or exclude other items. For years, most software development teams have referred to these as “whitelists” and “blacklists.” Examples include only allowing (whitelist) or blocking (blacklist) traffic from a set of known IP addresses. In recent years, software […]
I made some videos for my Troop as we worked on the Programming Merit Badge. It seems the effect was lost on Zoom, so I am posting the videos of the guest speakers here. These were generated using a service from Amazon, called AWS Polly to generate the audio. The audio was then lip-synced to […]
At work, we’ve been using Kubernetes for several years now. There’s a lot to learn and know about Kubernetes, but it really depends on the role that you are applying for. For more thoughts, check out this great article by the Enterprisers Project, where I discuss more of my thoughts on the Kubernetes interview. Share […]
