About

Experienced engineer who has worked on designing, implementing, and testing small and large software solutions for over 10 years using a variety of languages, technologies, and skills including. Recently I've spent a lot of time with Java/Spring, jQuery/React/CSS and PostgreSQL, but I'm not afraid of any language or framework. I look at software as a great tool in creative problem solving. Whether it is developing/maintaining a system for a company or a personal occasion video/print project, software enriches our lives and I'm glad to be a part of it. When I'm not at work, I can often be found either at a dance rehearsal or a ball field with my wife and 4 children.
