Wren Weburg

Hi there. I am a principal-level software engineer and architect who enjoys solving problems, helping others reach their potential, and spending time with family, friends, and pets. Outside of computer science endeavors, my hobbies include hiking, biking, creative writing, and flying model aircraft. I also sometimes enjoy video games with my kids, my own childhood favorite being SimCity. That led to a dream job at Electronic Arts Inc. (EA) within the Maxis and Pogo game studios, helping others play, explore, and share.

Portfolio

Here are a few representative projects that reflect my architectural and technical strengths.

• 

  GHoWSt, the Generic HTTP Web Service

  
  A powerful multi-language RPC library with zero schemas and zero tooling. Because communication is important across boundaries, this project allows coding in local language semantics on both client and server for several popular programming languages and translates calls to and from HTTP dynamically. No IDLs. No codegen. No magic. Just predictable HTTP.

• Head First Design Patterns in PHP

  
  A port of the book's source code to run on PHP, ported from Java.

Books

Many people and things influence my thinking on engineering, design, and leadership. But books are one of my favorite ways to learn deeper subjects. Check out these recommended reads.
