I have learned so much from the Internet during my lifetime that I hope I can use this site to give something back. I try to provide helpful insight on this site as well as elaborate on my current projects and research interests where possible.
I currently spend the majority of my spare time on cloud design patterns and microservices. I have been fortunate enough to work for a small consultancy. Transcending Digital that is involved in projects covering a vast landscape in small to large businesses.
I grew up in Michigan, lived in Massachusetts for three years while having a lot of fun at work. I am now back in Michigan near the capitol city working at Transcending Digital. Like my father and mother, I tend to be the type of person who works until eight or so at night each day. I then move onto my spare time projects until late at night. There is never enough time in the day to tackle all the cool things going on in the world.
I have been really lucky to meet many people through the years across the U.S. via work, and throughout the world from this site. I really love programming, information technology, science, engineering, and learning about new things. It is unbelievably rewarding to work in a profession where people throughout the world are helping eachother via means of open source software, how to articles, innovative cross-continental services, and sharing of knowledge.
