"James Iry is [a] highly skilled functional programming guru who has a magic touch when it comes to explaining complex Scala concepts to anyone." -- David Pollak, Beginning Scala, Apress 2009 Don't let David's compliment pigeon hole me. I'm an experienced executive level engineering manager, object oriented programmer, and C hacker. I've done a lot, enjoyed most of it, and am always up for the next challenge. Also, sadly, I've managed to Google bomb myself with the phrase "mostly wrong." Specialties: I love software. All parts of the software development life cycle. Yes, even bugs.
