William Nagy Email and Phone Number

I am a software engineer with over 22 years of experience crafting everything from proof of concept applications and rapid prototypes in a research setting to enterprise-grade software systems widely used by Fortune 500 companies.I am skilled at developing user-facing applications, which allow those with little or no computer experience to easily complete a set of tasks and achieve their goals, as well as middleware systems upon which others build their applications.I am known for my ability to communicate and problem solve effectively and for my ability to distill deep technical issues in a manner that facilitates cross-discipline discussions.I have thrived on co-located teams of less than 5 as well as on geographically dispersed teams of more than 250.It is my belief that the best software systems are those that fade into the background, allowing users to accomplish their goals unimpeded. I enjoy working with complex distributed systems because of the climate they afford to seek and achieve innovation, as evidenced by several of my patent filings.I believe that producing quality software is key to the success of our clients, and therefore to our success, and as such have championed numerous impactful quality initiatives and process improvements.I embrace the fact that, despite our best efforts, we as software engineers are not infallible and must design our systems to be resilient and recover quickly and seamlessly from any errors which may occur.I am a known leader in the adoption of Agile practices within my organizations because I believe that processes impact the outcome of projects as much as the people working on them.Specialties: Web services, service-oriented architectures, distributed computing, object-oriented design, Agile development methodologies and test-driven development, continuous deliveryLanguages: Java (proficient), C (prior proficiency), JavaScript (prior experience), Lisp (prior experience), XSLT (prior experience)
