Short bio

I decided it was time to write a short bio of myself, and share some of my developer experience.  I encourage anyone I might work with in the future to read this.

Development Style:

I believe I work best when I know exactly what I'm doing, what's expected, and have some creative freedom to explore my work while I'm doing it. I like getting very focused when I'm working on a problem and mixing it up with creative conversations. I find a mix of focused work, and less focused general discussion with my coworkers keeps me motivated and inspired. I always find the team works better when everyone idealistically believes in what they are doing and can share a single vision. It's that excitement and sense of forwardness that I'm really looking for in my future professional endeavors.

Building Aggregation Frameworks - Time Series, Statistical Time Analysis

Awhile back I became interested in statistical analysis of statistical time data.  The same way all projects and prototypes start at our company I created a directory in our "project prototypes" folder and wrote a readme.txt file and an implementation.txt file.

Here are the contents of those two files.

Who Tests the Testers?

The organization I work for uses a third party service to manage it's eBay listings.  This service like all programs written by man is not perfect.  The development at this organization is largely concerned with unit tests and integration tests I have learned from several outings with various employees that work on the large .Net code base.  The largest burden of testing however, comes in the form of acceptance and user testing.
