I started out as a Systems Administrator working with Solaris, Windows NT, Linux and xBSD systems in the late 90′s. I quickly realized that my best days involved software developers asking for something – figuring out how to build a web cluster was much more interesting than fixing printers and blackberries. This got me more interested in what we’d call Operations or DevOps today.
My natural leadership abilities led me to director roles early on. In the last ten years of my career I’ve been the CTO of three innovative organizations, and I’ve learned a lot from the each of them. I also fell in love with developing software. Over the last six years, I’ve built large scale web applications in .NET, and learned several other languages including JavaScript, Java, Ruby, Scala, PHP, Perl and Python along the way.

Is it better to waterproof a basement from the outside or the inside? As a note - we followed this advice, and have not regretted it. |

What should I do about ceiling tiles that potentially contain asbestos? We got the test. Negative! Definitely feel that testing wad worthwhile. Seems obvious now. |

How can I find the source of a mysterious bad smell? I smell my basement as I go down the stairs from the second floor to the first, as these stairs are directly above the basement stairs. I smell my basement most acutely whilst actually in my basement, of course. |
