Bio: I have been a SAS programmer for over 10 years. I have taught SAS professionally and have spoken as an invited speaker at many conferences. My technical skillset also includes all the tools necessary for agile development (Rails framework, web servers, data base management, Git version control, HTML, Javascript/JQuery, CSS). When I'm not developing things on a computer I play beach volleyball, play bass in local bands, snowboard and play with my kids. In general, I don't have time to be bored :)
