About the author

I have been a software developer at startups and small businesses for over 10 years. I hold degrees in finance and computer science, so I speak the language of developers and business fluently. My clients consistently rate my ability to translate between the two as my greatest asset, so I've decided to share my talent with the world through Dealing with Developers.
