Bill Fugina
Experienced, Full Stack Software Architect, Developer, Collaborator, and Mentor
Hello, I’m Bill and I create software.
I’ve been creating software professionally for over 20 years, but I’ve been interested in computer programming for almost my entire life.
Architect
Creating software is more than just writing code. All but the smallest software systems are made up of many parts whether it’s the tiers of a large distributed system or the layers of simple application. Those parts need to be well organized in order for the system to work and be maintainable.
I have a passion for finding the sweet spot between “quick & dirty” and over engineered using established design patterns, clean code practices and years of experience.
Developer
I enjoy writing code. It’s fun for me. When I get in the zone, hours seem like minutes. I like solving problems and working out algorithms. I crave the sense of accomplishment I get when whatever I’m working on finally runs and is working.
I consider myself lucky that every day I get to do something that I enjoy so much.
Mentor
Early in my career, I was lucky to have one of the senior developers that I worked with take an interest in me. I learned as much about the business of software development from him as I did in college.
Since then I have had the privilege to work with many young and talented developers. It is incredibly satisfying to sit and work with other developers who are interested and eager to learn how to become better. I often learn as much from them as they do from me.
Testimonials
Hey Bill. Today’s my last day and I wanted to reach out and say thank you for everything. You’re one of the most talented developers I’ve ever had the pleasure to get to work with and know. Of all the developers here you’ve taught me the most things. Both to have great ideas and to be brave enough to stand up for them. I’m going to greatly miss working with you. Thanks for everything!
