I'm a Washington, DC based Engineering Leader who works with small and large businesses to build innovative engineering teams with a focus on execution.
Since 2004 I've focused on architecting software solutions for big and small data, especially for the federal government. I developed a social media research platform, a line rate cyber security system, a highly parallel NLP system, and numerous geospatial analysis packages.
My favorite language is Python - I've been to six PyCons since 2008 - but by lines of code I've definitely written more Java. I enjoy mentoring developers in both, and also in the general practice of Computer Science and DevOps.
