Clinton Goudie-Nice’s Summary
I am fascinated by technology. I wrote my first software program at the age of 6 and since then I’ve been hooked on creating the next cool technology. I’ve been the driving force in technology initiatives from compound interest software on my original 8bit Atari to massively scalable distributed systems.
I am a software architect and engineer, but first, I’m a businessperson. My motto is the right amount of effort for the task at hand. When creating technology I endeavor to take into account sound business practices, market forces, legal responsibilities, ethical concerns, personal reasons, societal factors, and an entrepreneurial spirit to produce a big picture of the what and why of a problem-space. When viewing technology through this lens, I find the correct solution presents itself in unique and different ways.
Technology is an ever changing animal; that’s why it is exciting. I constantly keep up to date through blog posts, web pages, forums, local community groups, books, social technologies, and even the occasional journal article.
I have strong experience building scalable and fault tolerant systems using inexpensive technologies. My skills are predominately centered around building systems using Java on Linux; however I’m never afraid to use the correct tool for the job.
I understand the ways technology can be used to enhance and drive your business to success.
