About Matthew Donofrio

I have what some may consider to be surprisingly useful skills when it comes to computers and programming software to run on them. This may come with an understanding of the importance of design, unit testing, and development models. I’m also pretty good at developing portable code utilizing the GNU toolchain. I like to think that I have a strong knowledge of object-oriented programming through abstraction, clean interfaces, and reusable classes for maintainable code.I may have done some useful things in the past. This might include writing frontends, backends, and tool development utilizing a variety of JIT and compile-time languages such as C, C++, Obj-C, Java, JS, PHP, Tcl. I try not to use them all at once but hey, it’s important to use the right tool for the job.When I have to start doing real work, I've been known to build custom backend solutions for those utilizing highly scalable hardware including local or remote building and batch compiling. Yes, I make snide comments to my friends about your build system written in PHP. But whatever you use, I'll have no problem leveraging it to use native toolsets such as JDK and targeted compilers such and Intel, VC++, and CLANG.Not only do I think Unix is cool, but I’m also extremely comfortable at any terminal. I enjoy long walks on the beach and developing fault-tolerant shell scripts that are capable of running on POSIX and GNU environments.I've even developed some really cool, highly scalable multiplayer services with fancy permissions-based developer access (ACL) accounts for contractors to increase productivity without sacrificing trade secret implementations.This is the part where I start to wind things down in such a way to provide a nice transition to conclusion but I'm not going to do that. Instead, I’m going to go find some nachos.I also love satire.
