Profile: https://flows.cv/williamdobbins

I've got over a decade of experience and a focus on standards. I write good, clean code which is readable and sane.  I have opinions, but know that there's multiple correct ways to solve any problem, and that it comes down to requirements and timelines. I like tests, readable code, and not having to answer a pagerduty alert on a Saturday because code was pushed on a Friday (without a good reason).
