Hello, and welcome to this random assortment of facts.

I have been developing software for a long time. Nowadays, I manage software projects and my technical background comes in handy more often than not. I still write code for myself (to automate things/make them performant); my focus is keeping the customer happy, the development team happy and building software that will Do Something Useful.

Industries I've Worked

IT is everywhere! Most industries are very similar when it comes to employee needs, although one might think they're very different. I've seen Financial Traders get just as worked up and panicked as Healthcare Staff when their systems aren't working properly. My job is to make it so whatever the user wants to do is EASY and, in effect, so that they don't even notice me.*

There isn't really a favorite, just languages that are better suited for a particular task/application. I want to use the best tool for the job, because not everything is a nail.

• Perl
• Objective C
• Javascript
