I am a Director of Engineering/Architect, hockey player,, Disney fan, and family man.
As a Director of Engineering I'm a firm believer in modern practices such as Servant Leadership, Domain Driven Design, Microservices, Containers, CI/CD, Dev Ops and deploying to the cloud. I most enjoy designing and building distributed systems built using microservices, but I'm not too particular about what technology I use to build them. I have built production systems in Java, .Net/.Net Core, and Node deployed to AWS and Azure, but I'm open to other things as well.
As a hockey player. I've gone from someone that wants to play as competitively as I can and keep getting better to someone that just does it for fun and exercise. Nowadays I'm just happy if I can get up and down the ice without looking like an idiot.
I'm a big Disney fan. I've loved going to Disney World since I was a kid,, and I never seem to get sick of it. Everything from the theming, to the rides, to the food. Every time I go there I'm trying to soak it all in. My favorite park is probably Magic Kingdom, and my favorite ride is Splash Mountain.
And the best for last. As a family man I love to spend my time out of work with my family. Either driving my kids to or from all their sports, playing board games, or going to Disney with them. '
My personal Radars. The site also lets you manage your own Radar once you've logged in with Auth0. I started with a Technology Radar but since then I've evolved it to allow a user to define their own Radar types. I wrote this with Java, Spring Boot, React, and Docker.
This is my Technology Radar. The one that started everything. It's my own personal instance of Thoughtwork's original radar.
This is my Disney radar. As I worked on the Technology one I realized there were other things I wanted to rate, and Disney was the top of the list.
