My name is Thadeus Burgess. I am a Staff Software Engineer living in Texas who is passionate about big data, intelligent systems, and bleeding-edge web technologies. I have architected and built horizontally scalable data storage and processing systems, flexible data acquisition systems, and distributed RESTful API services. Currently, I am working in the healthcare space, creating an ecosystem of HIPAA/HiTech compliant apps.
These days, I spend my time coding, gaming, learning game development, crafting exquisite espresso, and exploring the unique challenges of playing the bagpipes. Parenting is my most rewarding and time-consuming venture, filling my days with joy and new learning experiences.
