I am a passionate Software Engineer. I believe in good coding practices, and practice the solid principals of object oriented software Development. I enjoy the opportunity to share my knowledge and learn from others.

I have mentored many developers, and each time I believe that I have learned just as much from the experience. Knowledge is a commodity that only grows when it is shared.

I am a .Net core developer, and my platform of choice is a Mac. One of the only things I don't like about my current job is having to use a PC. I typically work with SQL server, and now that it runs on my Mac, I hardly ever run Windows at home.

I feel most comfortable in an agile development environment, and consider the Agile manifesto as scripture for engineers.

I have been developing with Angular for the past several years, and coming to Satcom has introduced me to Narwahl best practices for Enterprise Angular Development. I tend to back my Angular services with cold observables, and manage data state through subscriptions to behavior subjects. I tend to stay away from passing data state through input and output fields on components.

Having worked in mono repos with many of my positions over the years, I really prefer decoupled services and libraries. I like the speed with which I can build and test my work in smaller specific repos. The only time I'm not against mono repositories is when dealing with Enterprise Angular application. In such cases, I think that the benefits of a monolithic repository for just your Angular code outweigh the downsides.

I am a huge fan of the distributed microservices architecture, and I document like there's no tomorrow. I think I'm actually addicted to sequence diagrams. I can enjoy some component and class diagrams from time to time, but there nothing like seeing a process progress across multiple components in a time line. 😜

Well, that's me in a nutshell.
