Don McCaughey’s Summary

I have broad experience working with many different languages, systems and technologies. I strive to build solid solutions for my clients that are the best fit in terms of cost, maintainability, and in-house expertise.

I advocate an iterative approach to software engineering that reduces risk, improves quality and helps the client to better steer the development process. By employing short, repeated cycles of requirements gathering, implementation, testing and deployment, projects can rapidly evolve to meet changing business needs.
