Java EE engineer. I started developing PHP web applications in 2003. I found that I like the enterprise challenges and decided to complete my Bachelors degree in 2010. Then pursue a career in enterprise engineering. Now I work at Novell. I`m a firm believer is using the right tool for the right job. Some of my favorite authors are Steve McConnell, Adam Bien, Martin Fowler, and Jeff Atwood. I`m a Linux user and have a fair amount of experience in system administration but have chosen not to focus on that area. I wouldn`t want to become a Jack of all trades, master of none I have a simple policy for asking a question. When I run into an issue, I try to find a solution for about half an hour. If I can`t find anything, then I`ll start to ask a question. Often, stackoverflow`s system will find related questions and I find my answer from those about 2/3rd of the time. I very much appreciate other people`s help when I have issues. I take constructive criticism very well. If I post a question that is ambiguous, difficult to understand or includes bad grammar don`t hesitate to inform me. Above all, I want to be one of the best software engineers and StackExchange will be an imperative part of that. Thank you everyone for making the stackExchange network so wonderful. ©
