Introduction I am a software developer, consultant, and mentor at <a href="http://sphereofinfluence.com/">Sphere of Influence, Inc.</a>, a company that leads with design-driven innovation to make curve-jumping, mouth-watering software that's awesome inside and out. My typical consulting focus is the design and construction of enterprise applications. <br><br> I am particularly interested in software design and application architecture; Agile practices such as Continuous Integration and Test-Driven Development; the JVM languages Java, Groovy, (J)Ruby, and Scala; and high productivity frameworks and libraries like Spring, Grails, and jQuery. <br><br> I keep a blog at <a href="http://www.clintshank.com/">http://www.clintshank.com/</a> and have contributed to the books <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596522704/">97 Things Every Software Architect Should Know</a> and <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596809492/">97 Things Every Programmer Should Know</a>. <br><br> I am also a husband and father of three children living and working in the Baltimore/Washington D.C. metro areas.
