My name is Barney Boisvert, and I'm a software developer specializing in Java, ColdFusion, and Flex web application development. I've been doing this professionally since '99, ever since I realized staying in college was the wrong choice (personally and financially).
I've a wife (Heather) and a couple of kids: Lindsay (born in 2004) and Emery (born in 2005). I currently live in Sherwood, OR, about 14 miles southwest of downtown Portland. In addition to my life of code, I ride a 2003 Triumph Sprint (motorcycle) and a 2007 Fuji Cross Comp (bicycle).
Official Bio
Here's my bio for directories, speaking engagements, etc.:
Barney Boisvert is an active ColdFusion and Java developer (with a sprinkling of JavaScript/HTML and Flex) with a emphasis on the good kind of laziness. To this end, he is a strong advocate of leveraging existing frameworks - code and otherwise - as much as possible. He was a core contributer to Fusebox 4.x, and has provided accepted patches to Prototype, Groovy, Hibernate, ColdSpring, and Fusebox 5, in addition to building several micro-frameworks from the ground up. In addition to his day job, he is an active member in local CF, Flex, and Java communities and occasionally speaks at user groups and conferences.
