Software development has been my career since 1992 so over 30 years of experience in the industry and I've seen it evolve quite a bit. The software I've developed has literally shipped to millions of customers and I'm proud of that.I've used many languages including C, C++, C#, Java, Python, SQL, HTML, Pascal, and more running in DOS, Windows, Mac and Linux.My passion is software quality, performance and solving problems. I've worked with the various communities to help improve analysis tools and have suggested new checks that have been integrated or are in backlogs as well. I believe that if you are not putting out a quality product, it is difficult to move forward because you have to keep going back and fixing things and, in the end, quality addresses many concerns and keeps customers happy. If you have a perfect program (whatever that is) which is too slow then it doesn't matter how perfect it is and you have to find the right balance if trade-offs need to be made or do better optimizations.Developers need good tooling and processes too. I once worked with a Mac cross compiler that took hours to generate anything useful. Suffering through that really made me appreciate more modern debugging techniques and how to mentally track down issues better - even when they aren't obvious... If tools are too noisy or slow that ends up not being helpful either.C++ is my favorite language, but Python is growing on me. Once you understand object-oriented programming most languages are similar enough that you just need to adopt the correct syntax so bouncing between isn't too bad.In my career I've had to use many frameworks and third-party libraries and complied with open-source requirements as well. I've been using cross-platform frameworks like Qt, boost, sqllite, and others for the last 15 years and some platform specific ones before that. I've done both Qt widget and QML development too.I'm proud of many things I've worked on but my first project out of college still stands out - a fully symbolic math parser for educational software that would recursively take the integral or derivative of literally any function and step-by-step show you the solution. In part it stands out because the owner of the company didn't think I could do it, so it was a big challenge but one I persevered through and accomplished. There was also a commercial version at the time selling for $10k.I've enjoyed working remote for the past four years and have been very productive as well.Thanks for taking the time to read my summary and let me know how I can help.
