He focuses professionally on business-centric full stack web application development, API design for distributed systems, and tinker with non-traditional software paradigms, particularly actor systems and FRP. He started programming in Superbase at about age 10 on an apple IIc then moved almost immediately on to some dialect of logo. Since that time, he has either tried or have been involuntarily exposed to some 30+ languages and systems, but that initial exposure to data-centric and functional programming still provides his touchstone. He spent the first chunk of his working life becoming an industrial automation guru and, as a bonus, a pretty top notch machinist and a fairly decent manager. When he grew tired of travelling, 12 hour shifts on his feet, and the constant risk of dismemberment, he switched gears and now sells keystrokes instead.
