I'm a software developer with over a decade personal experience. I see software as a means of organizing information, connecting people, and generally extending human capabilities. I see the elegance in, and strive for, clean, efficient, and well documented code. I believe applications are more than a list of features, that they must be intuitive and make the user's life easier. I'm familiar, and often proficient, with all layers of the development/deployment stack (drafting requirements/specifications, documentation, operating systems, databases, back-end systems, APIs, UI)
