I am a passionate but easy-going software developer who takes pride in creating high-quality and easy-to-use things. I have strong analytical and communication skills, am familiar with a broad range of technologies, and have a solid core skill set of C#, C++, Web API, SQL Server, and Cosmos DB.

I value working in an environment where developers are empowered to be productive and avoid unnecessary impediments. Having a reasonably powerful computer with adequate displays and the latest version of preferred development tools (Visual Studio, etc.) are some things that every developer should have. Developers should be included when making technology decisions. Tedious or repetitive tasks (such as some aspects of building, testing, deployment, and code analysis) should be automated where practical.

I value being able to work remotely. Not having to fight rush-hour traffic, enjoying significantly decreased fuel and vehicle maintenance costs, wearing shorts, and never having to smell microwaved fish are all great. I have also found that my remote-friendly teams tend to have more consistent communication and planning.

I value working in a respectful, professional, but still relaxed atmosphere.
