About

An experienced Software Engineer with over eight years of experience. Java is the language I've used the most. I've also worked with various other languages and tools (C#, Angular, Postman, and more). I'm very passionate about ensuring clear communication between the business and the development team(s). Through Behavior Driven Development (BDD) methodologies, I enjoy when the business and development team(s) are on the same page throughout the SDLC.

Hobbies

I really enjoy playing my Acoustic Guitar. I had taken a year or two break, however, I started to pick it up during my wife's pregnancy. I'd play around her those last few months. I recently started playing for my daughter. Shortly after her birth in late June, she fell in love with me playing a peaceful, yet simple, riff on my guitar. It has given me a lot of joy to play for her and have picked up practicing (again).

I love learning something new and finding ways to apply it to my personal projects or life. My wife says I enjoy those self-help books as I enjoy taking away a couple of the main points and try to integrate it into my life. I'd like to think I do the same in my work life with projects such as the BDD POC I've been working on.

My wife and I are a photography team. On the side, I'll shoot weddings with her and, at times, the elopements. Check out my wife's wedding photography site! and let me know

I'm not a huge TV Buff, however, I do enjoy watching a few shows over and over again. My main show would be 'Star Gate SG-1' followed by 'Avatar: The Last Airbender.' I also enjoy DBZ, One Piece, and the classic 150 Pokémon.

My wife and I have two dogs. One that loves to practice agility training. For several months, we have worked with Luna (the brown nugget) on various styles of agility courses at a local training facility. Our other dog, is not a fan of the training objects and is our "lazier" dog.

I enjoy developing software and web applications. I've been developing software, written mainly in Java (as APIs etc.), for over 10 years. I've worked with other technologies and frameworks; Spring, Angular, ExtJS, React, and more. As well as various tools, such as Jenkins, Git, Postman, and Docker.
