ABOUT ME
Experienced Back-End and Distributed Systems Developer
Experienced Back-End and Distributed Systems Developer

Hi, I'm Allen Goodner. I've been developing on the .net stack since 2009. Almost all of that has been back-end, distributed services work. My philosophy is that simple is better than elegant.

As a mentor, it's not my job to make you look good; it's my job to make you actually good.
