This is the technical blog for Glenn Engstrand.
Recently, I decided to return to the role of entrepreneur by starting my own company called Exploravention Labs. I currently offer software architecture consulting services and a product called Ask the Architect which can be set up as a single tenant to work with your own proprietary source code repositories.
The contents of this blog represent my own opinions and not necessarily the views of any of my past employers.
