ABOUT ME

I may not look the part but I am the biggest code geek you will find. When not spending time with my wife and two daughters; I spend my free time listening to podcasts, coding small academic projects and writing blog posts. I am always looking for just the right balance between theory and practice as it relates to TDD, Agile, OOP, DSLs, and Design Patterns.
