Nowadays you will find me working on enterprise-internal web technologies of React, Node.js, and ElasticSearch. I have worked continuously on in-house enterprise platforms for the last decade, primarily focusing on .NET and Java solutions but also at times intersecting with various others like C++ and COBOL. Covering a wide gamut of technologies, you name it, chances are I either live and breathe it daily, touched it in the past, or have a working knowledge of it. Some highlights of my expertise are: Graph UI, T-SQL/SQL Server/Sybase IQ/Code first-Model first/Persistence/EntityFramework, DataPower/XSD/XML/XLT/MQ Series, WinForms/WPF/IoC/Observables, TDD, CVS/SVN/GIT, wiki/Sharepoint/Confluence, RSS, Kerberos/LDAP/AD, TN3270, Rule Engines/State-branch/table, Spark, SMTP, ETL/SFTP/FTP/FTPS/WebDAV/SMB/Samba/SCP.Super-Stack: Front end, dev ops, api back-end, storage; backup, training, support. Deep Architecture Design, UX, UI, Graphic Design.I am devoted to leading teams, design architecture, consulting, and delivering capabilities. Having the privilege of working with a small core team of outstanding competent developers, I have strong expectations for myself and my team to be self motivated and laser focused on quality.Ask me about my favorite subjects like: gamification, rule engines, model patterns, application clusters, parsing-lexing-grammar, UX, node graph, queue, devops, agile, metrics, security models.I make it my mission to be the number one subject matter expert and go-to guy for most anything you can think of. If you have an issue or computer science question, just ask Macal.I’m pretty confident I can you solve a Rubik’s cube faster than you and always have one handy for those fearless enough to prove me wrong.Read all the manuals, don’t believe all the brochure-ware hype, do your homework, do it yourself, think deep and make great things.
