INDEPENDENT CONSULTANTBASED IN TEXAS
Hi, I’m Silas.
I’m an independent software developer based in Texas. Before consulting, I worked on Accordance at Oaktree, eventually becoming lead developer.
Much of that work involved adding features and fixing problems in a Pascal application spanning more than 900,000 lines of code, used across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. It taught me to understand how a system works before changing it, and to take care with software people rely on.
