With Unity, a popular... Continue Reading →
Cancer sucks, right? No, I don't have it (thank God!) but there are too many people who do. I've had friends and family go through it and thankfully some recover and are in full remission! However, that's not always the story, some have that nasty thing come back. I'm blessed no one I know has... Continue Reading →
I'm going to be honest upfront, Challenge 4 of our coding challenge feels, well, less than challenge 3. I thoroughly enjoyed the 3rd challenge, so this was a little bit of a letdown. We went from making a search tool against Star Wars movie scripts to a URL shortener. Right? Not as much fun, but... Continue Reading →
I'm pretty excited about challenge 3 of our coding challenge. It let me geek out in two ways: Star Wars! We are creating a basic search tool to search the movie scripts. #ThisIsTheWay I've been on a project for the last few years creating an intelligent enterprise search tool for a client. Much of what... Continue Reading →

Since I'm learning Spring Boot and specifically creating REST APIs, I get to create this calculator as an API... But first, the requirements, here's what... Continue Reading →
I enjoyed the Advent of Code this past December, a lot, especially since I was doing it with some of my teammates. There were some great lessons learned, and who doesn't love to learn? We were discussing the benefits of a coding challenge like this and decided to think up our own! Our coding challenge... Continue Reading →
I recently wrote an article for the Slalom Technology blog. In it I discuss some of the lacking capabilities of using SharePoint as your only platform for your intranet. SharePoint Online and Office 365 are awesome, provide rich collaborative capabilities, but still pretty basic on the intranet front. “Today, employees face a technology experience at...

This is not a fluff piece. I wasn't asked to write this or prompted to share my thoughts. Like everything on my blog, this is my own view and opinion. I want to share the why behind "I'm with Slalom". I'm very pleased to share I've been with Slalom for 5 years today! It's been... Continue Reading →
