How Marine Biology Helps

in Software Development

Clownfish

I studied marine biology and freshwater ecology, learning a scientist's approach to observation, data collection, and analysis. And I loved using computers to help with my research starting in 1976. But then life took me 1000 miles from the sea.

So, I turned my skills to writing software for others.

I discovered that building applications requires the same systematic approach as understanding complex biological systems. r/K strategies, succession sequencing and many other biology concepts surprisingly can be applied to many business processes that involve software development.

The key is: REALLY understanding another's business, and creating clear criteria for success.

Common Questions

You're too old for AI/modern development, aren't you?

Am I? 🤔 I don't think so.

I've been continuously learning for 43 years. I adopted AI tools early in their development. My experience helps me know which tools to use and how to avoid common pitfalls.

I'm a marine biologist turned software developer. And I'm fascinated with using software to solve problems and access new opportunities. I'm also a teacher, a coach, and a mentor and I can help you.

Won't you retire soon?

Nope 😀.

Retirement doesn't interest me. I love what I do. I love the challenges.

I'm a solopreneur by choice, not necessity. Many of my clients have been with me for 20+ years because I provide consistent, reliable service. I plan to continue as long as I'm effective.

$250/hour is expensive, isn't it?

You're paying for 43 years of experience that prevents costly mistakes and project failures. My clients save money by avoiding the typical pitfalls that plague web development projects.

Keep in mind, this rate only applies to hourly, ad hoc work. The rate drops when you pre-pay for a block of hours. This applies to retainers and proposal quotes as well.
