I have been involved with projects and companies leveraging + Java since version 1.2. Java is one of the languages and + environments in which I am most comfortable. I have experience + writing Java at all levels where Java can be applied. From + cross-platform desktop applications to command line utilities + to J2EE business logic to microservices. I have experience + applying Java to several programming paradigms, including highly + concurrent and distributed environments. + + I continue to find myself in situations where Java is a good fit + for the problem, and I continue to enjoy working with tools and + languages that build on the JVM and the Java ecosystem. I feel + very confident about my ability to immediately contribute in + this language. +
Groovy is my language of choice when I want to write dynamic + code or do rapid prototyping in the Java environment. I have + several years of experience working with Groovy and leveraging + the Java ecosystem from Groovy. I am comfortable across the + entire spectrum between writing very Java-like Groovy and + writing idiomatic Groovy taking advantage of Groovy's dynamic + nature. I am very confident in my knowledge of this language. +
I have been working with C# since Microsoft introduced the + .NET platform. As with the Java ecosystem, I have experience + using C# and .NET across many different problem domains, from + hardware automation to classical desktop applications to + server-side processing. C# is my language of choice when + specifically targeting Windows platforms. I am very confident + in my knowledge of this language, and am familiar with the .NET + environment. +
+
Almost every non-trivial problem has non-trivial persistence + needs. Very often, relational databases are an appropriate + solution. While I appreciate the architectural benefits of an + ORM layer, I have always enjoyed working with SQL directly when + the opportunity is presented. I am very comfortable with + standard SQL and relational databases in general. +

When I was first introduced to JavaScript, I was not + particularly interested in using it. As the language and + ecosystem has matured in the last several years, I have come to + appreciate JavaScript more. I have been very excited by the + developments of modern JS engines and am very excited about + some of the features introduced in ECMA Script 6. JavaScript + has become a performant, expressive language and many of the + shortcomings and warts it possesed are being addressed. + + In particular, with the emergence of frameworks like Backbone + and React, as well as the libraries surrounding large-scale + application development in JavaScript, I have found it a very + pleasent language to work with. I have several years of + experience building web-based applications with JavaScript. I + feel very confident in my knowledge and expertise with this + language. +
PHP is a language I have had cause to use several times in + my career, most often because it is the native language of an + existing solution. In my time with QuantumDigital I had the + oportunity to futher my understanding of modern PHP by + enrolling in Zend's advanced PHP training courses. + + While it has been several years since I have worked regularly + in PHP I am confident in my past experience and ability to ramp + up quickly to an expert level. +
When I first learned of Erlang it immediately caught my + attention due to it's philosophy of expecting failure, it's + approach to concurrency and it's functional nature. While I + have had the oportunity to use Erlang successfully on some + personal projects, I have not yet had the opportunity to be a + part of a team of people all working in the language. I am very + familiar with the standard library, aware of the growing + ecosystem surrounding Erlang in modern use, and thouroughly + enjoy writing Erlang code. I would be excited for the + opportunity to work with and learn from a team using Erlang to + build their solutions. I feel very confident in the core + language and runtime, and confident in my ability to ramp up on + new subjects in this domain. +
