About
Tim is an Analyst for Gigaom Research who is also a full-stack generalist and passionate teacher who loves coding, presenting, and working with people. He believes the best technologist is one who is well-informed of specifics and can also make deep connections between technology and the broader world. He has recently been exploring non-relational data stores, build systems, and how software architecture should resemble an ant colony.
His firm, the August Technology Group, helps clients with product development, technology selection, and training in non-relational databases and the technologies of the broader Java ecosystem. The August Group’s technology preferences reflect the generalist sensibilities of its founder, and its development practices are always lightweight, self-improving, and humanizing by design.
Tim is a speaker internationally and on the No Fluff Just Stuff tour in the United States, and is co-president of the Denver Open Source User Group, co-presenter of the best-selling O’Reilly Git Master Class, co-author of Building and Testing with Gradle, a trainer with GitHub.com.
He lives in Littleton, CO, USA with the wife of his youth and their three children.
