I'm a kind, compassionate, empathetic, impactful, force multiplying, highly driven leader and manager. I make mistakes and learn from them - just like you. I have managed anywhere from 10 - 30 direct and indirect reports spanning dev, devops, testing, cloud computing, and platform engineering.I believe that the best technical managers are strong coders, because it allows them to speak and understand the shared language of their team and ICs. I am proud of my coding skills and continue to sharpen them with passion projects like https://www.codesession.io - a .NET Core web app, as well as other sites and apps like my static blog https://www.davidhaney.io generated with Hugo and hosted via GitHub Pages.I build technical and people skills in developers and managers, minimize bureaucracy and meetings, and nurture a fantastic and inclusive workplace culture that values diversity of person and thought while celebrating success and failure alike without fear of reprisal or punishment. I lead with empathy and kindness rather than fear and ego. I value honest and clear communication. I treat people the way I want to be treated - with kindness, sincerity, transparency, and respect.My Specialties:- Core Data Structures & Algorithms, Patterns & Practices- Business and Tech Process Improvements & Methodologies- .NET Core, MVC, & Web API- JS / .NET / SQL / Azure stack- E-Commerce & High-Volume Applications (100mm+ unique monthly visitors)- Search Algorithms & Technologies (Elasticsearch, etc.)- Distributed Computing & Scalability (on-site and Azure, caching layers, distributed systems, bloom filtering and geo-replication, etc.)- Performance Profiling & Tuning- Encryption & Security- Compliance & Process
