Summary
I'm an experienced software engineer with a focus on scalable infrastructure. I manage a load balanced "cluster" out of Wenatchee, WA. My network has the capacity to host dozens of virtual machines and uses 100% renewable, hydro-electric energy.
I've developed a scalable application customizable and delivery platform with clustering, high-availability, fault-tolerance, and speed in mind. In addition to being fully Object Oriented, it adheres to a strict model-view-controller design pattern, modeled loosely after Ruby on Rails. It supports database replication, Squid, & Memcache for acceleration.
In the past I've worked with financial services, internet companies, and leading manufacturers to develop software or offer consulting. I've done everything from broadband media delivery to solutions for mobile, thin-client, and embedded devices.
I am passionate about producing great code & innovative software with the latest open-source technologies!
