About

Hello. Welcome to my blog.

I’m a software engineer and manager at Highwinds, where my team develops the StrikeTracker^TM console for Highwinds’ RollingThunder^TM Content Delivery Network. Before that, I was at CFI/Westgate Resorts for ten years, where in my final role as Director of Software Architecture I divided my time pretty evenly between keeping the marketing people away from the software engineers and attempting to convince the CIO to buy everybody MacBook Pros.

I’ve rambled incoherently at a number of industry conferences over the years, on topics ranging from running software teams to best practices for using Java with Adobe technologies. I will one day list all my presentations on my blog, but in the interim if you’re interested in seeing them they can be easily Googled.

When I’m not writing code, I can be found either wasting money on designer toys or making people’s ears bleed with my synthesizer collection. My favorite color is orange (duh). I’m married to a shopaholic, and we live in sunny Orlando, FL.

If you don’t get the tagline, watch this.
