Dustin Lacewell
I've been a writing software since I was little. I have explored many languages, frameworks and domains.
These days I am most interested in helping teams learn to balance the maintainability of their systems with the speed of business.
I am available for tutoring individuals of all ages and training teams of all sizes in the writing of testable and maintainable software.
