Alex Vollmer’s Summary
I've been creating web and enterprise software for the last ten years. I am a firm believer in using agile methodologies and techniques to grow software and provide the most value. I believe that good systems evolve and based on automated testing, refactoring and a willingness to reflect and improve. I like writing code that expresses the domain clearly and simply.
I have over eight years of professional experience delivering applications in Java. In the past two years have been doing more work in Ruby because the underlying principles of simplicity and beauty of the language resonates with me.
Recently I've become immersed in iPhone and Mac development. I currently have iPhone application in the App Store and plan several more.
I also have extensive experience in Linux/Unix environments, various databases (relational and key-value), as well as networking and networking protocols.
