I’ve been a professional software developer since the early 2000s and an enthusiastic amateur even longer. I was also, for a while, a manager of developers. I’m deeply interested in organizational dynamics and group consensus: software, like ourselves, lives in a society, and both serves the needs of and serves to help shape that society.
I’m always interested in hearing from people and organizations that I can help, whether that means coming in for a few days to talk about end-to-end testing or joining your organization full-time to help turn an idea into reality.

What’s a nerd without a factory game fascination?
Satisfactory is a game about destroying the ecosystem of a pristine world, for profit. You are put in the shoes of a faceless corporate drone, given tools with rapidly increasing agency for extract and exploiting natural resources, and situated within an incentive structure that rewards you for doing so as efficiently as possible.
It’s great fun.
