Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/danh3

Specialties: I've been doing software development fro  a shockingly long time.  I mean, what was I thinking? Anyway, my major experience is in C++ and unix-y environments (Linux, BSD, Solaris) but am not particularly opposed to stretching beyond that.   I've lately had a taste of agile development (ie, Scrum).
