Jeremy Pulcifer

Hello... I'm Jeremy. Per my twitter bio, I'm a Rock Climber, Downhill Skier, Motorcycling Enthusiast, Ballroom Dancer, Father, Husband. Not necessarily in that order. Oh, and I program computers.

I'm in Michigan (live in Ann Arbor, work in Detroit). Grew up here, lived in CA (SF/SV) for 14 years, planning to go back in 2019.

I learned SWE by accident; my prior career was as a CAD engineer, which gave me the opportunity to learn some Lisp to customize the CAD systems. Learned Oracle with the assistance of a guru, shortly after launched into SWE'ing fulltime. Switched to Java development in '98, using Java 1.0 for a short time before Java 2 was released (to the relief of many). Ah yes, Oracle 7 and Java 1. Good times.

I've added several arrows to my quiver, but Java and data management is the core to my skillset, still. Looking forward to adding some more modern client-side JS technique/tools.

I'm happy to advise, coach, mentor other engineers, whatever their experience. Let me know!
