I am the T. Rex of Codosaurus, LLC, my one-person consultancy, which is how I can get such a cool title. ;-)

So what does that mean? I am a semi-retired software development consultant. That means I can certainly crank out code but prefer to advise on tools and processes, roadmap projects, train and mentor devs, etc., so that they can write better code faster.

I am also a frequent conference speaker, mainly on matters of software quality, such as my own definition, and weird testing techniques such as mutation testing, property-based testing, doc-tests, Ping-Pong Pair Programming, mob/ensemble programming, and so on. See https://www.Codosaur.us/speaking for more details.

Regarding specific technologies, I am mainly a back-end/server/CLI programmer. Lately I've done mostly Ruby, both on and off Rails, plus Sinatra, and including all the usual web-app add-ons that implies, like HTML, SQL, JavaScript, etc. Before that I did mostly plain old C, with several years focusing mainly on multi-level security. Now I am trying to break into Elixir (including OTP, Phoenix, etc.), for any further hands-on work. I have also worked professionally in many other languages, mainly Python and some I don't want to work in so I won't mention them here. I like to pair program, and apply BDD/TDD and small-a agile principles when practical.

I don't answer many questions on StackOverflow, but I do a lot on https://www.quora.com/, on a wide variety of topics.
