About

I like the part of software you rarely see.

always learning

I'm a Computer Engineering graduate who enjoys the work behind the screen: the data models, the business rules and the scheduled jobs that keep a system dependable.

I like understanding how things work under the surface, and I enjoy the patient work of tracing a production issue back to its cause. Most of what I've built has been as part of a team on real business applications, and I'm always learning from it.
