ABOUT ME
Former CTO, 20+ year Java veteran
Former CTO, 20+ year Java veteran

I’ve been doing software development for a long, long time. I wrote four books on software development. A long, long time ago I worked on Java at Apple & Symantec. I moved to Seattle in 2004, did consulting from 1999-2016, including co-founding Dev9, a software consulting firm (2010-2016). From 2017-2020 I worked on video games, culminating in the release of BlazeSky in 2020. In 2020 I switched back to Java.
