Particle physicist turned software engineer and loving it. • I am focused on delivering products that fit customers' needs in an effective and efficient manner. • Advocate of short feedback loop, data-driven, iterative project life-cycles (agile/scrum). • I value and enjoy designing maintainable, scalable, high quality software. Keeping the big picture (both from the software architecture and product perspective) is extremely important to me. • I enjoy working in a collaborative environment. I am passionate about working towards improving team decision making processes. Languages: Ruby, Java, C++, Javascript, HTML/CSS Process: Test Driven Development, Agile Software Development, Pair Programming Platforms/Technologies: Rails
