Launching Rig & Code: A Journey in Software Innovation
Welcome to Rig & Code, the official blog of EMSERO! I’m the founder of EMSERO, a 40-year software engineering professional with a career dedicated to defense contracting in communications, intelligence, biometrics, GIS, and data analysis. Through this blog, I’m excited to share my insights, experiences, and lessons learned.
Why Rig & Code?
Rig & Code is more than a blog—it’s a space to explore the art and science of software development. Inspired by my decades of building secure, scalable applications for defense and beyond, this blog will dive into coding challenges, development workflows, and the strategies that drive innovation. Whether you’re a startup founder, an enterprise leader, or a federal professional, my goal is to offer practical wisdom and spark ideas for your next project.
What to Expect
Here’s a glimpse of what I’ll cover:
Coding Experiences: From tackling complex problems in defense systems to streamlining modern applications, I’ll share real-world stories and solutions from my 40-year journey.
Development Workflows: Insights into optimizing your setup, streamlining processes, and building with agility and quality, drawn from my work in high-stakes environments.
Tech Reflections: Thoughts on emerging trends, tools, and best practices, grounded in my experience with communications, intelligence, biometrics, GIS, and computer forensics.
Lessons from Defense: How principles from defense contracting—security, scalability, precision—apply to today’s software challenges across industries.
My Background
For four decades, I’ve worked as a defense contractor, developing solutions that power mission-critical systems. My career spans communications networks, intelligence analysis tools, biometric collection and identification using fingerprints, iris, and facial recognition, geospatial applications, and computer forensics investigations. The name EMSERO holds special meaning—it’s derived from the first two letters of my grandchildren’s names: EM from Emma, SE from Sedona, and RO from Rowan. This personal touch reflects my commitment to building a lasting legacy through innovation. Now, through EMSERO, I bring that expertise to craft standalone and Kubernetes-based applications and provide expert consulting, transforming visions into reality with agility and quality.
Let’s Get Started
This is just the beginning of Rig & Code. In upcoming posts, I’ll dive deeper into coding strategies, share tips from my defense contracting experience, and explore how to build software that lasts. Want to collaborate or discuss a project? Reach out at info@emsero.com, and let’s innovate together.
Stay tuned for more, and welcome to the journey!
