I'm a senior software architect/engineer, "all-in" on Java.

I'm passionate about software design/implementation quality/performance.

I'm passionate about state of the art software development tools.

I am focused, work hard, stay productive, and challenge myself.

My strong combination of design vision/taste plus technical implementation/debugging skills are what sets me apart.

I am skilled at the process of creatively enumerating alternatives, weighing pros/cons, and identifying the overall best solution.

I thrive on problems with high essential complexity.

I am an independent, analytical, logical, and creative thinker. I enjoy being surrounded by the same.

I like to work with and/or mentor people who learn quickly.

I am an autodidactic life-long learner with multiple interests: software development, technological progress, genetics, human healthcare, medicine, space exploration, astronomy, mechananical engineering, psychology, education, agriculture, woodworking, music, art, biology, microscopy.

I am honest with myself, seek truth, and prefer to face reality as it is.

I am perpetually proud of my current work, while also embarassed about code I wrote 5 years ago.

I compete with my former self while collaborating with others.

I believe strongly in the importance and value of free software.

I love Java and want to continue working with it on technically challenging projects.
