SHALLOW BROOK SOFTWARE

The name of this site is an homage to the old phrase "A shallow brook babbles the loudest". I've tried to find a good way to bridge a metaphor between the phrase and my development beliefs but nothing ever really comes out of it. You could maybe try and link loudness to software complexity, I guess. I just like the phrase and think it makes for a simple and memorable name. I do believe that the steadily increasing complexity of software systems is a real problem for modern projects, however... Welcome to Shallow Brook Software! My name is Andrew Dailey and I'm an independent programmer from Des Moines, Iowa. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Software Engineering from Iowa State University. I have multiple years of industry experience working a variety of positions including Linux system administration, Python-based ETL, and large-scale cluster automation. Software development is one of my primary hobbies and I tend to specialize in backend / systems programming.
