I'm just your average geek. I currently facilitate for a small and fantastic development team within a large retailing company. We have a heavy focus on mobile and have developed and published applications on Android, Blackberry and iOS platforms for our clients.

I'm a life long learner. My latest passion is security. I always have 3 books on the go at any one time.

MS Dynamics NAV ERP systems development and implementation have recently pushed their way to the forefront of my professional life.

I love what I do and the industry that I work in. I love helping people when I can.

If Tesla fought Edison, Tesla would win.

Apr 27	comment	Should a developer be allowed to use VSS if he prefers it? +1 to your comment. I'm seeing the world through rose coloured glasses and jobs posted on Stack Careers again. You're right. Even our shop didn't have that stuff until the team I work with started barking for it about 4 years ago.

Apr 5	revised	Must strong developers carry the weight of the world on their shoulders? Added some more context
Apr 5	comment	Must strong developers carry the weight of the world on their shoulders? +1 - I was writing my reply when yours came up. Bubble up is exactly what I was going for, and you're 100% right. It's more about the team and how you fit. Being surrounded with smart folks like those at Google adds to that! :)

Mar 14	comment	Why do business analysts and project managers get higher salaries than programmers? Sounds to me like the OP has his mind made up. Why ask the question then?

Mar 14	comment	Why do business analysts and project managers get higher salaries than programmers? +1 - well said.
Mar 14	revised	Why do business analysts and project managers get higher salaries than programmers? removed an extra "with"
Mar 14	comment	Why do business analysts and project managers get higher salaries than programmers? So if what I'm saying "may be true" is that worthy of a downvote? My recommendation is programmers that want to be stars should work for software companies to avoid letting reporting structure interfere with their true worth!
Mar 14	comment	What are the preconditions to get an experienced developer from working as a freelancer to owning a small software company? +1 - late payments suck!

Jan 10	comment	Do I need to go to a big-name university? +1 for the Randy Pausch link.
Jan 3	comment	is OOP the dominant programming model in real world? +1 for the comment on picking a different field if you plan to learn one approach. That's insane.
Jan 3	comment	How to earn team members respect as team lead That depends on the nature of the tasks. If it's admin work, true. If it's coding work, false. Sometimes the worst managers are the ones that don't know how to delegate effectively. They spend all of their time fighting through tasks and none of it planning, organizing and keeping ahead of the curve for the staff they're supposed to be leading.
