Paul Rubin

I’m a practical software architect. I turn underperforming systems into dependable operations, usually by working directly in the code alongside the people who own it.

Philosophy - pursuit of wisdom, a search for a general understanding of values and reality.
In a successful business everything should work well. Around me, everything works well or it is on my immediate to-do list.

Problem - a question raised for inquiry, consideration, or solution.
Successful executives see problems as opportunities for creating solutions. I research, design and implement solutions that work for the long term.

Discipline - a field of study.
A competitive business needs to understand a broad focus. I study many different disciplines - business, computers, wood, people, photography, food and nature. I find beauty, grace and pleasure in all.

Craftsman - one who creates or performs with skill or dexterity.
A profitable business encourages employees who have a proprietary interest in their jobs. I approach everything I do as a craftsman, I strive for quality with an eye for details.

Renaissance man - a person who has wide interests and is expert in several areas.
My goal in life is to be thought of as a Renaissance man.
