Hi there, I'm Bill Nofer

A seasoned developer

I'm a software developer from Michigan. I’ve been designing, programming, and maintaining software applications for the last 25 years. My journey started in backend systems, but I have experience working up and down the software stack. I’ve worked with Java, JavaScript, and C# to name a few, as well as databases like MySQL, Postgres, DynamoDB, and MongoDB. These tools have helped me build solutions ranging from simple APIs, to more complex distributed microservices using messaging services like RabbitMQ and NATS.

I believe my greatest skill is in building relationships with my clients, and fully understanding their needs. This approach helps me to clearly model their business domains and deliver solutions tailored to their needs. Such collaboration leads to the best outcome: products that get used and that make a difference.

One quote that keeps me going is, "What we know is a drop, what we don’t know is an ocean." – Isaac Newton. It reminds me to stay curious, keep learning, and never shy away from a new challenge. If I don't know something yet, I'm confident I can learn it.

My LinkedIn profile highlights my diverse skills and my knack for quickly picking up new technologies. I'm really passionate about using my software development, cloud services, and automation expertise to work on exciting, innovative projects.

If you’re facing a technical challenge, I’d like to hear from you and learn how I can help. Feel free to leave me a message so that we can work on the next challenge together.
