About

Over a dozen published books (on paper and in bookstores.)

Consultant, developer, mentor, author, speaker. C++, Carbon and whatever else I like. Being human and working with humans. Rescuing projects in trouble as a reluctant specialty.

My firm is available for online or in person mentoring, code reviews, troubleshooting and in some cases writing code for clients. If you're interested, please email me and mention you are familiar with my SO activities.
