Roy Malcomber
Software developer. A BT (Before Token) developer. Small, boring, durable software, documented first.
What is Roy Malcomber?
Section titled “What is Roy Malcomber?”A software developer who has worked permanent, contract and start-up, and who has been writing code since 1999. That makes Roy a BT developer: Before Token, from when the only thing that completed your sentences was a colleague.
- Experienced. Writing software since 1999, professionally since 2011.
- Polyglot, not promiscuous. C#/.NET, TypeScript, Go, Rust: pick the right one, then master it.
- Documented. If it is not documented, it is not done. Docs and code change in the same commit.
- Small. Obeys the Floppy Rule. This whole site weighs about 1390 KB.
- Both sides of the desk. Permanent roles, contracts and a start-up of my own: see the timeline
