About williawmgant

I am a software developer, martial artist, home wine-maker and kettlebell afficionado living in Nashville Tennessee with his wife and daughter. He was the owner (and sole employee) of Gant Software Systems, LLC. I specialize in making ASP.NET applications and services more scalable, especially in non-cloud, enterprise environments environments. I have a book coming out in August 2019 on how to prepare for software development whiteboard interviews. In addition, I'm half of the Complete Developer Podcast (https://www.CompleteDeveloperPodcast.com) and speak at conferences and code schools on a fairly regular basis.
