About

.NET/C#

I have worked in .NET/C# for the last 15 years professionally. The bulk of my open source projects in that time have been in .NET.

Javascript

Since I've been fulfilling a full-stack development role I've spent a lot of time working in Javascript for the last 15 years as well.

C/C++

The earliest software I wrote was in C and for a time I developed exclusively in C++. I only use these professionally in a small capacity for some legacy utilities.

My professional workspace over the last 15 years has been a mix of Windows and Linux systems. Mostly Windows Server 2012, CentOS, and Debian. My focus at the OS level has been tuning to optimize for the workload being run on a particular host.

SQL Server

Maintaining a large SQL server installation that backs a SAAS has been a lage part of my workload for the last 10 years. In that time I've learned a quite a lot about how to best maintain SQL server and how to best interact with it when composing software.

ElasticSearch

I've maintained a large ElasticSearch cluster professionally as an auxillary componenet of a SAAS as a repository for log events and loose data collection.

Exim

I've maintained Exim as a inbound mail relay that primarily functions as a mail forwarder to final destinations.

PowerMTA

I've maintained multiple PowerMTA installations sending multiple millions of daily messages.

Apache

I've setup and maintained an Apache installation as a balancing and caching proxy that handles all inbound HTTP requests for a large SAAS.

haproxy

Similar to my experience with Apache but focused on working at the TCP layer.

I maintain a number of open source projects. Most are discrete utilities for use in solving specific problems. Have a look at the Projects page or see my GitHub repositories for a more complete list.

When not parked at a keyboard, I enjoy reading, fishing, hiking, and trail running.
