Software Craftsmanship
I like getting things done. Most projects in the software industry crawl to a halt after initial development because most developers simply do not know the basics of software design and thus create big messes. Hence, my passion for and practice of Software Craftsmanship. With the right knowledge, you can get more things done for a lower cost, which is a win for everyone involved.
