I’m a Software Developer/Entrepreneur with over 35 years of programming experience. Although my preferred programming language is Java, over the years I have worked with BASIC, FORTRAN, Perl, C#, Javascript (of course), ES6, Python, PHP, JSP, ASP and many others to a lesser extent.
My primary focus, at the moment, is developing Distributed Database Technology for IoT. Early database experiences go back to the 80’s when I was introduced to applications like dBase and Q&A. Over the past 20 years or so, I’ve typically used MySQL and PostgreSQL for developing web applications. However, in the late 2000’s, I began looking at various emerging NoSQL technologies such as Cassandra and HBase. These applications, and variations like Couchbase, DynamoDB, and MongoDB, are some of my “goto” solutions for distributed data.
My formal education was in Business; not Computing. However, early in my career, I discovered that writing software for my company was far more enjoyable than marketing and manufacturing. So, in the mid 90’s I began transitioning toward a career in Software Engineering… I have been writing code, and Loving the challenge of solving problems with software, ever since.
