David A. Gray

Software Developer (Senior)

United States

I deliver robust, clean, adaptable, future-ready applications that are properly documented for users and maintainers. I have deep knowledge in multiple technologies and broad familiarity with computer and software technologies of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

While it isn't perceived as sexy, my focus has always been the back end of the application stack, where data arrives from a multitude of sources, and is converted into reports that express my interpretation of The Fundamental Principle of Tabular Reporting, and are the most visible aspect of the system to senior executives who approve the projects and sign the checks.

While I can design a front end, I prefer to work at the back end, getting data into the system from outside sources, such as other computers, electronic sensors, and so forth, and getting it out of the system, as reports to IDENTIFY and SOLVE problems.

When presented with a problem, I focus on identifying and solving the root problem for the long term.

Specialties: Design: Relational data base design, focusing on reporting; organization and presentation of large document collections such as MSDS libraries

Development: Powerful, imaginative utility programs and scripts for automated systems management and maintenance

Industries: Property management, Employee Health and Safety, Services

Languages: C#, C++, C, Python, VBA, Visual Basic, Perl, WinBatch, SQL, XML, HTML, Javascript

Outside Interests: Great music (mostly, but by no means limited to, classical), viewing and photographing sunsets and clouds, traveling by car on small country roads, attending museum exhibits (fine art, history, science, technology), long walks, especially where there is little or no motor traffic, reading, especially nonfiction and thoughtfully written, thought provoking science fiction

Paulo Zemek

Software Developer (Senior) Microsoft

United States

I started to program computers when I was 11 years old, as a hobbyist, programming in AMOS Basic and Blitz Basic for Amiga.
At 12 I had my first try with assembler, but it was too difficult at the time. Then, in the same year, I learned C and, after learning C, I was finally able to learn assembler (for Motorola 680x0).
Not sure, but probably between 12 and 13, I started to learn C++. I always programmed "in an object oriented way", but using function pointers instead of virtual methods.

At 15 I started to learn Pascal at school and to use Delphi. At 16 I started my first internship (using Delphi). At 18 I started to work professionally using C++ and since then I've developed my programming skills as a professional developer in C++ and C#, generally creating libraries that help other developers do their work easier, faster and with less errors.

Saleh Hamadeh

Software Developer

United States

First of all, I cannot describe how much I adore math, computer science, and physics. I started coding when I was thirteen. I learned C at that age, and then I moved to learning C++, Java, Python, and, of course, HTML, CSS, Javascript, and PHP. When I was young, my major motivation for learning programming was to create games. I developed around a dozen games for my PC and Wii when I was in high school. At 17, I bricked my Wii by trying to access the system files, but never mind that now.

In last couple of years, I spent most of my time learning the newest technologies. I learned Android programming two years ago, and as of now, I published two apps on Google Play. Then, I completed two Udacity courses and UC Berkley's Artificial Intelligence course on EdX.

My current interests are:
* Managing complexity of large-scale applications.
* Marketing automation and customer engagement using artificial intelligence.

When I am not coding, I will probably be walking around downtown Kennesaw, reading, blogging, or hanging out at Starbucks.
