Hi, my name is
Scott Grivner.
I connect people and business with technology.
I’m a Software Engineer & Architect based in North Eastern Pennsylvania, USA. Currently, I work as a Enterprise Architect at Alleima where I develop and deliver effective enterprise technology solutions.
About Me
My interest in programming began at the age of 13, when I decided to create my first website and Windows program.
A decade later, in 2012, I graduated with a bachelor's degree from Bloomsburg University.
In 2014, I launched Night Owl Labs, LLC., a company dedicated to software development, design, consulting, and education. We publish our projects on app stores, offer custom software solutions, and share educational content and open-source contributions on GitHub.
Fast-forward to today, and I’ve had the privilege of working at a nuclear power plant, and a huge steel manufacturing company.
In my spare time, I enjoy learning new programming languages, frameworks, and architecture methodologies. I'm also an avid open-source contributor and have developed a repository categorization and guideline framework to help others get started in the field.
When I’m not typing on a laptop, you can find me writing tech articles, reading books, playing sports, boxing, weightlifting, gaming, and spending time outdoors; enjoying nature, camping, hiking, and most importantly: fishing.
