Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolIan Howard is a pragmatic developer based in Portland, Oregon, with roughly two years of recent experience and a decade-plus history building full-stack systems in Java, Python, C++, and Eiffel. He thrives on tackling difficult puzzles, turning messy spreadsheets and complex business rules into reliable automated pipelines and web APIs. His background includes designing graph-backed collaborative content systems, building state-reproduction and testing infrastructure, and automating financial-data ingestion at RAND LABS. Comfortable across persistence layers (MySQL), OOD/OOA, and both web and desktop stacks, he brings a methodical engineer’s mindset to debugging and durable design. Ian’s linguistics and Japanese studies hint at a pattern-oriented thinker who values clear, maintainable expression—whether in code or prose. Currently at Roll20, he continues to focus on robust, testable solutions that make complex problems tractable.
