I am good at

I know how to create solutions with software. I'm not a typical Software Engineer - while I love to code, my motivation is building out simple solutions to a complex problems that provide real value to society. This means that my job only starts with code, but only ends with customer success.I've worked mostly in startups, and have developed skills that scale horizontally across departments, and vertically across technology stacks. Much of my career has been building solutions with highly distributed systems (currently: Cloud Computing, Big Data). I'm most experienced with Java/Python middleware solutions running on Linux, but have proven ability to adapt quickly to new platforms and technologies.
