Preferred language – Python. I’m most comfortable with the command line, Git, Selenium, REST and Bash/Shell.
Past language experience includes PHP, UnitTest, PyTest, Jenkins, Google G Suite, AWS.
I once was in love with Java, but Python has since stolen my heart!
I’ve always loved text processing, so I’ve spent a lot of time with grep and sed, and cleaning data for importing into databases.
Favorite OS: Linux/Centos/Redhat. Why? It’s clean and professionally up to just about anything. Whenever using Ubuntu, I find myself endlessly removing things. I finally settled on Lubuntu for teaching Linux- a scaled down lightweight Ubuntu. At home I have an old Mac for this and that, a Windows 7 box for my workday, a Centos Server for fun, and some other assorted toys.
Experienced with Oracle DBs, SQL, MySQL, Cassandra, OpenShift, low-level tracing and Java code coverage.
Long ago I did lots of Perl, PL/SQL, RE/sed, Basic, Pascal, Dbase 2 & 3, Foxbase, DOS, CPM, C, Brio, SAS and C++.
