Ticket Alternative Leadership

I've been practicing the craft of software development and integration for 20 years.

I have diverse experience in .net, java, javascript, jquery, html (and abbreviated cousins razor, haml, and markdown, css (sass, scss, less) and a couple other templating implementations.

I've written dlls for the SQL Server CLR and plugins for Microsoft Dynamics online but prefer document databases (Mongo) and lightweight frameworks.

I've also interacted with diverse communities as observer, participant and facilitator. In the past year, I have attended the following.

Consumption of technology is an experience. A user experience. Not many can touch the breadth and depth of UX of a polyglot technologist. As such, it is only natural that thought leaders in UX are developers. Github, Pivtotal Labs and Heroku excel. As do many others. As daily, if not continuous consumer of such experiences, becoming a student of design is inevitable.

I seek opportunities to share and grow my experience and passion as a software craftsman.

Specialties: polyglot programming, software craftsmanship, .net, javascript, restful apis, webapi, UX, cloud computing, continuous integration / delivery, and, of course, git.
