Introduction

I'm the VP Software at Park Assist, managing a team of very talented algorithms engineers and software developers.

Mostly Ruby and Javascript, with a bit of Python and .NET thrown in for good measure.

What topics might you be interested in?

Scaling a tech team, managing multi-disciplined teams, CTO career path

Do you have any specific areas of expertise? Would you be willing to share it with the group?

I'm really into looking at ways we can take practices from the world of Agile/Scrum/TDD and implement them in the non-software parts of a business. It's completely informal but I'd be happy to share my experiences.

What is your favorite unit test framework and why?

Test::Unit does the job, but nothing compares to nUnit

What is your favorite version control system and why?

Git. We love the branching. It has enabled us to commit early, commit often and to think of changes atomically.
