Proof

Systems I specified, directed, and shipped. Each one runs without me and reports when it breaks.

Work

Four chapters of it, with photographs from the rooms where it happened.

A classroom whiteboard headed Welcome to Basic Training

How I operate

A short manual for working with me. The training method is from 1998 and I still use it.

Studios

Your studio is worth more than it is running at.
