Daniel Dyer’s Summary

I am a senior software developer with a background in online and mobile gaming (poker, casino and spread-betting), network security, CRM, and e-commerce.

I have extensive Java knowledge and experience (JavaSE and J2EE/JavaEE) including enterprise architecture, networking, concurrency, performance-tuning, and graphical user interfaces.

I am committed to the development of quality software and a firm believer in using pragmatic, lightweight development practices to achieve this - emphasising automation over manual processes wherever possible.
