Who am I?

Hi! I'm Jim, and I'm a software developer and consultant at @Improving. I lead the Houston Java Users Group and really enjoy learning about Java and helping others learn about Java too.

What am I working on?

I'm currently working on RefactorFirst, a tool to help Java developers decide what to refactor first and help developers enjoy developing software more.

Why is this sponsorship important? How will the funds be used?

My family and I have been impacted by the February 2021 winter storm in Texas. A pipe froze and burst and caused substantial damage to our home. The funds will be used to help pay repair costs.

Thank You!

If you find RefactorFirst or dTangler helpful and valuable tools in your work as a software developer, your support would be greatly appreciated!
