After nearly two decades in the software industry, I've worked with a range of technologies, teams, and approaches. It's been quite a journey so far!

I started out as a starry-eyed computer science graduate, eager to dive into coding challenges and complex technical projects. Over the years, I grew from an individual contributor to leading large-scale development initiatives.

Along the way, I've witnessed the rise and fall of programming languages, frameworks, methodologies. I've collaborated with brilliant folks from all walks of life and team cultures. I've seen projects soar and flounder, successes worth celebrating and failures leading to soul-searching.

Most of all, I've come to believe deeply in the importance of continuously learning and improving. As an industry, we've barely scratched the surface of what's possible with technology. The pace of innovation shows no signs of slowing down.

To keep up, I make it a point to step out of my comfort zone and pick up new skills. I try to stay open-minded, pragmatic and flexible in my approach. Dogma and ego have little place in a world where change is the only constant.

After reflecting on my experiences, I felt an urge to share my perspectives with fellow technologists and leaders. I hope to provide practical tips, thought-provoking ideas, and an honest insider's view of the software profession.

This website marks the start of a new adventure in paying forward lessons learned to help others in their own journey. I don't claim to have all the answers, but am excited to have thoughtful dialogues and debate.

Onward and Upward!
