Technologies come and go. Remember Visual Source Safe? How about CruiseControl.NET or the WISE Installer? I've used them all in the past.* A fact-finder. At least that's what one of those personality tests told me long ago. It makes sense. I live with the tension between comfort in understanding the systems I work with, versus the need to get things done, often with incomplete information.* A builder. Whether working with an existing system, or building something new, I love incrementally improving things. The goal is progress, not perfection.Always willing to write and deliver training and coaching. Workshops and hands-on exercises are great ways to reach people.* Grateful every day for the opportunity to work with smart and capable professionals like yourselves.
