I focus on the deep dive, the dive into use cases and requirements, into the real-world needs and challenges of a business. I apply Domain Driven Design practices and Object Orientated Programming principles to architect and build innovative solutions. Modeling real-world, human, business processes in software, how cool is that? For me these have included the intricacies of a customer account, the life cycle of a service desk ticket, the duties of an IT technician, the nuances of a new-business proposal, the power of factory machinery - all rendered in clean, encapsulated software structures, ready for use and reuse. I have most recently been using C#, .Net Framework, SQL, LINQ, LINQ to SQL, Azure DevOps, Git, Postman, Aha!, CodeSmith, gRPC, Protobuf and other tools to define, design, develop, and implement core, reusable, and extensible, backend application components serving MVC, REST, RPC, and other clients.I still remember the moment, more than 20 years ago, when I "got" Object Oriented Programming. Wow, that is cool, and powerful! Of course, “getting it” is only the first step. Applying OOP principles still takes effort, day in and day out, still demands attention and continued learning, for problems large and small. But the “thrill” returns again and again, each time the pieces begin to fall into place, each time complexity is corralled, each time an elegant solution takes shape. I smile, glad for the solution but also glad for this cool career.Tip of the day: All code gets reused. Even the most esoteric, single-use algorithm will be cut & pasted and reworked for a similar (or not so similar) task. Write all code to high standards.
