How Sharper Than a Dragon's...

As a Sun Certified Java Programmer with over 8 years of Java, Swing, and J2EE experience, I became frustrated with the amount of configuration, duplication, and boilerplate that was a necessary part of Java development.

Introduced to the Ruby on Rails framework in the fall of 2005, I _never_ looked back.

I've been a Senior Software Architect at Labrador Technologies since 2005, bringing over 23 years experience in end-to-end software development and 17 years of object oriented programming and design experience.

Hansard prototype

I run my own web application development company, Visible Red, specializing in Ruby on Rails. I'm a strong believer in creating useful, usable tools using open source technologies. I advocate a pragmatic, agile approach to development that includes lots of rapid prototyping, and can talk about my experiences applying this approach within large organizations.
