I love helping people leverage the power of information systems. I've had the privilege of doing so in a variety of roles for over 25 years. My specialty is working with stakeholders to develop extensible scheduling, workflow, and form systems. I also love teaching and mentoring.
I've used a wide variety of tools over the years. However, most of my commercial work has centered around Ruby, JavaScript (also with types) or Java. While I tend to be pragmatic about technology choices, I do seem to have a soft spot for Lisp and C.
I may be available for freelance or contract work. Hard problems with no clear cut solution are the most interesting to me. I may also be able to help you get projects started, complete stalled projects, and coach teams on things like system design, and implementing bitemporal systems or systems that have to model sparsely structured data (especially in healthcare and clinical research).
You'll find a reasonably complete summary of my experience here (there's an abbreviated version in PDF format here). Feel free to reach out to me by email or on LinkedIn.

- Sparsely Structured Data
- Bitemporal Modeling
- Integration (APIs, legacy systems, parsing & encoding data formats)
- Web Development
- Health Information Systems

- Foundations of CS (i.e. What does it really mean to compute?)
- History of CS (i.e. How did we get here, why?)
- Integrating of machine learning with structured techniques
