Cloud Architecture Expert, Organic Business Consultant

Check out [login to view URL] to see some of my most recent open source releases (especially of Approach, my open source platform ) Most of my career I worked for organizations ranging from Texas A&M to IBM as clients of Flip Side Technologies. More recently I've finished a two year term as a director at another company, reducing their technology costs by 55%. Now I am seeking meaningful opportunities while developing my flagship, Approach, in 4 languages. Technology trends show ORM vs MVC is old news. Service and flow architecures relying on a strong definition of "components" are on the rise. In Approach I jump past this trend, literally two software generations further, by incorporating Compositing and Orchestration, with another generation soon to cover Orchestration for you. This is known to be where we are headed. Aside from making Approach here's a quick view of my skills: Strong Specialties: C++, PHP, JavaScript/AJAX, OpenCL, HTML5 or OpenGL Data Visualization Data: XML, JSON, SQL/NoSQL/Graph database, geometric relativity and density in binary structures Build Target Platforms: Linux - RHEL-based and Deb-based. FreeBSD, Amazon & Google Cloud Services, Private Clouds, Android/Dalvik, Windows, SoC, Altera FPGAs, Sony "PS4" (no solid name yet) Hardware Orchestration: Cloud, clusters/servers, consumer, FPGA, mobile/embedded SoC Learning: More Lisp, Go, R, Parallella/Epiphany architecture, the new glfw, V8 engine, RaphaelJS General Technologies*: Git & SVN, Nginx, Apache, IIS, (my,ms)SQL, DNS, Redis, Ad standards like VAST/VPAID, REST, MVC, Web Services, Approach, Over 20 CMS and analytics platforms, more *These are technologies I can actually config, deploy and maintain. These are technologies which most developers commonly standard users and rely on admins for

Experience

CEO, Original Author

Approach Foundation LLC

Due to constant contributions from FlipSide Technologies, or my personal involvement, some developers freely contributed to a past proprietary version of Approach. Now Approach is a shining example of a development process which improves over time. Every few months Appr

Director of Product and Technology

My Damn Channel, Inc
Aug 2011 - Aug 2013 (2 years)

While very much my least favorite technology, I was still able to effectively make drastic improvements to their infrastructure, though not it's maintainabil

Starting out as a junior webmaster, I became Director of Projects and Research in 2004. This position led to work with a wide variety of organizations with very different needs. It was thanks to my time at FlipSide that I was able to engage with a wide diversity of needs.
