About Me

I'm a software professional with over 15 years industry experience ranging from startups (with as few as four people) to multinational banks. I've built network software, database software, user-facing software, backends, distributed systems, games, business engines, application servers, and more. I've lead teams and followed leaders (great and otherwise).
I'm also deeply interested and involved in environmental protection, clean food, and how agricultural systems impact human health. I live and work on a small farm with my family building first-hand experience with as many of the related systems as I can. You can read more about that side of my life on my other blog.

Supporting Open Source

I'm a prolific contributor to free and open source software projects, both on a volunteer and paid basis. I greatly appreciate donations to support the volunteer efforts. Feel free to let me know which software you're interested: it's always great to hear from users and a downside of a lot of this work is not getting to hear from the people who use the result very much.
