During my software development career I've been fortunate to work with dozens of bleeding edge, innovative, and very cool technologies. And as much as I enjoy the end results of software creation, I always find myself gravitating toward the development process itself. I have a keen interest in the tools, processes, languages, frameworks, and systems that improve developer productivity and overall software success. I love elegance, simplicity, and automation, and I'm always on the lookout for developer tools and processes that exhibit these traits.
