Software Developer/Chicago, IL
DevDarnel.
I build software people use.

01 / About
Technical range. Operational discipline.
DevDarnel is a software developer who builds and ships real software across mobile, web, desktop, and game platforms.
Every project is documented and versioned. The work spans encrypted healthcare communication, sports analysis, Android game economies, browser-based games, and client websites.
That engineering work is backed by years of operating mission-critical hospital communication systems: triaging high-volume calls, dispatching emergency responders, initiating emergency codes under protocol, and protecting patient confidentiality.
