Serial Entrepreneur, AI Systems Architect, Golang Developer and Trainer. Building secure LLM infrastructure and protocols. Actively involved in the Go Community.
I’m a full-stack technologist with 25 years of experience, specializing in start-ups. Over the years, I’ve founded several technology companies, including Pulsity, a web consulting firm from the late 90s. From Pulsity, I launched Local Launch, an internet marketing technology company that was acquired by RH Donnelly in 2006. I continued my journey in the technology sector, founding more companies, including Gopher Guides, a Go training company where I currently serve as a founding partner. I co-authored an introductory book on Go titled “Go Fundamentals,” which is a comprehensive guide for both beginners and experienced developers. The book covers essential concepts and practical applications, making it an invaluable resource for mastering Go. I have extensive experience in the Go ecosystem, having contributed to the Core engineering team at InfluxDB, a highly scalable, distributed time series database written in Go. My work has focused on profiling and optimizing applications using advanced techniques like torch graphs and tracing profiles. I am deeply involved in the Go community. I started one of the first Go meetups in the world, Denver Gophers, and helped organize the first GopherCon. I’ve led numerous Go workshops and training courses and published several online articles related to Go. Additionally, I help lead and organize various community technology meetups and mentor new developers. When I’m not creating new Go training material, I volunteer my time helping local entrepreneurs start their own businesses. I offer free business advice and services, such as incorporating their business, setting up their web presence, and providing the moral support they need to turn their dreams into reality.
