Last update: June 22, 2014.

Current status: under full-time contract at Modernizing Medicine until June 30, 2015.

I am a software development contractor who has been using Java since 1997 and developing web applications since the "pre-JSP" days of just Servlets, having since used Stripes, Spring MVC, Groovy/Grails, Clojure/Ring/Compojure, Ruby on Rails, and Struts 2, among others.

I founded my company, Javelot Inc., in August 2000.

I've written three books about web frameworks:

• Seven Web Frameworks in Seven Weeks
• Stripes ...and Java Web Development is Fun Again
• Getting Started with Apache Click

Besides Java, I have solid knowledge of Groovy, Clojure, and Ruby.

I have also worked extensively with JavaScript and toolkits such as jQuery, YUI, CanJS, and AngularJS.
