About Greg Turnquist

Greg has worked in the software industry since 1997, always seeking the right tool for the job. Greg joined SpringSource in 2010 as a senior software engineer. He previously was part of the senior software team working on Harris' $3.5 billion FAA telco program, architecting mission critical enterprise apps while managing a software team. While providing after hours support, he is no stranger to midnight failures and software triage.

Being a test-bitten script junky, Greg has used JUnit, TestNG, JMock, FEST, PyUnit, and pMock testing frameworks, along with other agile practices to produce top quality code.

He has worked with Java/Spring/Spring Security/@AspectJ/Jython technologies, UNIX/Linux/Solaris platforms, and python/jython/bash/csh/expect scripting. Being a wiki evangelist, he also deployed a LAMP-based wiki web site to provide finger tip knowledge to users.

In 2006, Greg created the Spring Python project. The Spring Framework provided many useful features, and he wanted those same features available when working with Python. He also wrote Spring Python 1.1 through Packt Publishing.

Greg completed a master's degree in Computer Engineering at Auburn University in 1997, and lives in Melbourne, FL with his family.
