Tony studied mathematics at the University of Illinois, but made the move to software development when he saw the same relationships and patterns in software as in Abstract Algebra. After starting his career in the .NET world, he discovered open source and Ruby on Rails and never looked back.

He appreciates clean code and fast tests, sound and reliable architecture, and doesn't like when things break. While Tony loves the dynamic nature of Ruby and Javascript, he appreciates the strictness of static types in Typescript and Go. He is a budding Elixir enthusiast.

Outside of work he enjoys drinking coffee, riding bicycles, and going on walks with his dog named Pickle.
