About Scott Tillema

I’m excited for the opportunity to learn new skills and motivate a team of developers. I enjoy making software that is easy to use and gets the job done quickly and easily. My core values are: have empathy for your customers; respect for your peers; be open to new potentials and different ways of doing things. I am not encumbered by learning new languages or systems, and prefer to choose the best technology that meets the needs of the project and the developers. In addition to learning new technology, I also enjoy leading and teaching others, writing documentation, and presenting.My professional goals include:* Adapting Agile methods to improve our team\'s performance* Improving software quality by matching user requirements while respecting best practices in programming* Always learning new languages and technologies that make software betterSpecialties:* JavaScript, Java, Perl, PLSQL, HTML and CSS, PHP, and Python* Database query performance* Working directly with users to translating business needs into application designs.* Developing sound/normalized database schemas.
