My name is Laralyn. My background is in information and knowledge management, but my methodology focuses on users. Understanding a user base (expectations, goals, behaviors) is key to delivering products that are useful, usable, and engaging. My approach is a blend of quantitative and qualitative user research, working inclusively with cross-functional stakeholders, and testing the assumptions that inform business strategy.

I have 10+ years of experience leveraging data to identify target audience trends and produce actionable insights (e.g. designing attitudinal surveys, analyzing behavioral data, or using analytics to test a design hypothesis). I also have 10+ years of experience balancing and validating data-based insights with qualitative user research (e.g. facilitating user interviews and focus groups, leading workshops to understand users' mental model, or generating usability feedback through wireframe or prototype testing).

My experience spans roles in research, design, facilitation, product development, knowledge management, and content strategy. I've worked with startups and Fortune 500 companies in a range of industries; worked on a team of one and teams distributed across time zones. What's important at this point in my career is working with a collaborative team that values curiosity, transparency, rigor, and empathy for the user.

Hi, I'm Jon.

I've had numerous roles and responsibilities under the umbrella of "techology-related problem-solver". I have a fairly T shaped skill-set and tend to gravitate towards areas where I can have the largest impact. Sometimes that means architecting and building distributed systems solutions and libraries, other times it means working with security teams to improve the Secure SDLC for an engineering group by growing developer mind-share into Shift-Left. My lauded communication skills have enabled me to solve some engineering problems with soft skills alone.

I've worked in the healthcare space for the last ~5 years, and have found my cross-knowledge of development and secure practices to be a boon in leveling-up engineering groups perspectives on handling and protecting sensitive data (HIPAA and friends).

Technology-wise I've worked with quite a few different stacks (most recent noted above) and don't have much trouble picking up new things and diving deep. I tend to stay abreast of technology developments and trends by consuming sites like HN or subreddits for specific languages/technologies (In communities which I'm not directly involved, I check in once a week to see how different groups shape their perspective on discipline-wide problems). I also enjoy the opportunity to dive deep into the source code of an open-source project to answer questions that aren't well documented or blogged about.

Most of my work is closed-source, but I tend to hang around in slack/discord/gitter/etc and try to answer more than I ask.

I'm currently looking for full-time remote opportunities.

Hi. I'm Craig. I'm an experienced Senior Software Engineer, Systems Architect and Microsoft Certified Professional with a passion for software development.

I work primarily, but not exclusively, with Microsoft technologies and the .NET / .NET Core frameworks, leading complex and challenging enterprise software development projects to successfully deliver robust, secure, scalable and efficient software solutions, encompassing over 20 years of experience in the field.

An accomplished team leader, mentor and architect, I'm skilled at taking a leading role in the overall architecture of a project, in driving team developments and employing proven industry disciplines and best-practices to deliver successful software projects that frequently exceed client expectations.

I'm passionate about distributed systems design, CQRS and event sourcing and a proponent of domain-driven design to ensure that solutions are laser-focused on solving real business problems. I'm an open source enthusiast and advocate using the best and most appropriate tools available, providing for an effective and pragmatic solution that delivers genuine and quantifiable business value.

Throughout my career I've helped numerous businesses of varying sizes in varying industries get their technology investment right and I can do the same for you.

Recent projects include:

+ Successfully delivered large section of an ambitious project to re-engineer a number of monolithic applications to cloud-native, event-driven distributed services for a leading hospitality software provider as part of a company-wide effort to modernise entire software estate including training and mentoring staff on event-driven architecture and distributed system design.

+ Successfully designed & delivered large, global SaaS product to manage and automate music royalty collection and payment for one of the UK's largest and most demanding independent music publishers including full cloud geo-distribution & redundancy to ensure high availability & reliability for the worldwide client base.
