About
Software Developer, Consultant
I’ve been building software professionally for over twenty-five years, and have been designing and implementing solutions to business problems for most of that time.
My experience and skills make it possible for me to quickly get new software projects bootstrapped and up and running, avoiding common obstacles and pitfalls.
I’m currently employed full-time, doing kubernetes and service-mesh work.
On a case-by-case basis, I occasionally freelance with consulting or software development projects.
Contact me with any questions.
I am:
… a son of God, who is Good.
… the husband of the beautiful Juanita Weldon.
… the dad of Destiny, Julie, Johnny, and Simeon.
