I have 16 years experience in software engineering professionally, most has been in the Java and Spring ecosystem across many industries, engineering cultures, cloud environments, tech stacks, and product lifecycles. I am team player happy to fill needed roles from formal tech lead, mentor, individual contributor, skunk works engineer, to technical product owner. I love to work in autonomous cross-functional agile teams that practice TDD/BDD and own their solutions from the first line of code to production deployment, support, and maintenance.
