About

My name is James Edward Gray II — JEG2 around some parts of the Internet. I have been a developer for around two decades. These days I manage developers. In both roles, teaching programming has always been a big focus of my work.

When programming, I'm passionate about design. When managing, I try to empower teams of self-organizing Musketeers. When teaching, I care deeply about practical examples, visualization of algorithms, and how to train fluency.

I co-wrote Designing Elixir Systems with OTP with Bruce Tate, who's one heck of a nice guy. I'm developing a strong appreciation for Livebook that I am busy turning into interactive educational guides for programmers. I have always loved regular expressions and board games.
