About Michael D. Hirsch
I am a senior level Java/Scala programmer, both desktop and server side. I enjoy work at all scales, having built embedded Linux appliances and worked on microservices at Twitter and Workday. In a previous life I was a Mathematician with a Ph.D. in applications of Topology to Computer Science.Everywhere I go I become a champion for good coding practice and robust testing. I insist on complete unit tests and use code coverage tools to help assess the testing. I work to integrate QA into the development process rather than doing it later.All this is in keeping with my views on Agile development practices. Good processes are processes that help developers build robust software without slowing them down. Good processes gives developers the security to move faster than they otherwise would by letting them know immediately whether they are working on the right problem and whether their code is working well.Specialties: Linux, Java, Scala, C, C++, Python, SQL, Perl, BashAnt, Maven, Bazel, IntelliJ, Eclipse, JUnit, Clover, Jenkins, Make, JBoss, Pants, Git, Subversion, CVS, RPMManaging a team (Certified ScrumMaster), Agile Development, Technical Lead, Mentoring juniors,
