Writes maintainable code and persuasive emails. (More confident about the former than the latter).Prefers to work on small small-a agile development teams.Hot tip: if you want to go fast, don't worry about the process (Agile, SDLC, etc.); focus on dev team composition (is it small, independent, and empowered?), engineering practices (are you automating and keeping quality high?), and architecture (is it easy for you to change stuff?). Oh, and make sure you go to production often. Nothing more demotivating than building software no one will use in the forseeable future.

Bringing a developer's perspective to the front and tail ends of the SDLC. On the tail end: hashing out the meaning of "done"​ for product architectures after their originating projects have concluded ("Should we evolve, retire, or replace?"​ and "When should we act?"​). On the front end: prototyping, technology evaluations, and architectural planning to lessen the risk of projects becoming "death marches,"​ producing Rube-Goldberg-like architectures, or tempting us to try to disprove Brooks' Law.Some specific undertakings to date:- Re-writing a Dojo.js-based web application front-end for a PTAB system using AngularJS.- Prototyping MS Word 2013 task pane apps for use in Patent examination system.- Participating as a developer/SME on a Scrum team, working on a search system product. Working on tooling for system administrators written with AngularJS, Spring Boot, and JAX-RS 2.
