Hi all,
For several years now I have been working the public sector as a Software System Architect for the state of
Before this I worked the private sector, mostly startups. Names that are like to ring a bell are Technicalities, WebMD, and Flatrock. Interests have been Distributed Systems, Object Oriented Technology, Web and Client/Server apps, and patterns. Most all my work has been in C++, Smalltalk, and Java.
Some domains of experience are Public Health, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Graphics, Commercial Liability, Reusable API/Framework development, and Clientless VPN products.
Some of my favorite authors are Kent Beck, Martian Fowler, Rebecca Wirfs-Brock, and Booch. For several years now I have been in positions that give more focus on an understanding of Software Architecture as a profession.
I got a Bachelors of Science in Software Engineering Technology from Oregon Institute of Technology.
At DHS we have been using Java and WebSphere to modernize applications to web technology and SOA.
