I have 26 years (since 1998) of professional software development experience in a wide range of industries including health insurance, veterinary, department of defense, education/e-learning, manufacturing, local government, and non-profit. I have been involved with many software projects spanning the entire life cycle of development., both Agile and waterfall. Since 2007 I have been solely responsible for managing and architectural design of entire projects.I am a software engineer by training, an engineer at heart, but my passion is being an entrepreneur. I love to create solutions for customers.My company, Tribloom, specializes in AWS (Amazon Web Services). I really enjoy the breadth, depth, and challenge of the "the cloud" and it's unique architectural qualities. One of the things that this has enabled is DevOps, which I have embraced whole heartedly. Tribloom's specialty is cloud enablement. Cloud Enablement is the process of building a highly effective cloud environment. It consists of is cloud migration strategy and readiness, cloud migration, cloud governance, and DevOps. Cloud Governance is the process of defining and creating policies to control costs, minimize security risks, and improve efficiency.I believe in doing things well the first time, this includes software development. In some ways, this conflicts with customer first agile development. I also believe that customers rarely know exactly what they want and what they think they want isn't necessarily what they need. An iterative design and development approach is essential to rapid development that is required in today's world. My philosophy is to do quick proof of concepts, get feedback, and then build something that will be scalable and maintainable.
