About me:

An outgoing Senior Developer that cares about making quality, robust software. I release code that I can be proud of. I believe that TDD is the single most important discipline a team can implement to ensure product quality. I am a big picture visionary that functions as a client liaison committed to uncompromising quality of software I deploy.
