Biographical Sketch  

 I am an Enterprise Fellow at HCA Healthcare. In 2017, I began a research and development project within HCA's Enterprise Integration team. A product of that research was the company's next-generation integration platform: Waterpark. You can learn more about this work here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qUfX3XFi_4.

Prior to joining HCA, I accrued over two decades of consulting experience building software in complex business domains. In 2012 I founded Nashville Functional Programmers (http://nashfp.org/). 

I  enjoy supporting FP communities around the world and have shared my experience in Lean and functional programming at conferences and universities in London, Manila, Oslo, Brisbane, Bangalore, and throughout the United States.
