My Ideals

• I strive to find and understand the simplest and easiest solution (KISS) to any problem leading to a more robust, better maintainable and testable technology solution which often results in lower maintenance and improve ROI costs.

• I am passionate about software quality and software productivity and have undertaken graduate study in these disciplines. I use, promote and contribute to the open source communities and related projects.

• I thrive for job satisfaction through a motivating, challenging, hard working but rewarding team environment.

• I promote Agile development ideals especially testing and test driven development, and I believe in embracing change while still accommodating and understanding traditional development methodologies with given businesses and individuals.

• Building great ideas from a team of great people rather than trying to build a team around an idea you are trying to protect. Collaborating. Working with smart and motivated people. Learning something new about my domain expertise from others less experienced is encouraged, not threatening.

• Have fun.
