I have a passion for creating and building software. Software makes possible so many things we couldn't do before. I enjoy being a part of that. It is exciting to figure out ways to solve problems and make things better and easier for others. What I don't like is software that is hard to use, hard to maintain and expensive to produce. I particularly do not like software that doesn't do what it is supposed to. When I hear users complain their 'system is slow today', Or they have to ask someone, 'how do I get out of this?'. I take it to heart. It helps motivate me to make sure the software I am a part of is not like that. I use the experience I have gained as a user, as a support person, a developer and an architect to do what I can to make better software. I have encouraged others to do the same by mentoring peers and as a team lead or manager.Specialties: Java, Scala, JEE, UML, SOASun Certified Enterprise Architect
