About Me

My name is Raymond Camden. I'm a married father of eight living in beautiful Lafayette, Louisiana. I'm a developer evangelist currently looking for next job. Most of my time is spent writing, researching, or presenting. When I'm not behind a computer, I'm an avid Xbox/Playstation player, enjoy movies, and read like crazy.

I've been lucky to have been invited to speak at many conferences over the years. If you would like me to speak at your conference or organization, please contact me. I can cover pretty much any topic you see my blog about, but feel free to request just about anything. I love presenting on topics I'm not yet familiar with as it gives me a chance to learn something new.

I'm somewhat of a Star Wars nerd - but don't tell anyone else I told you that.
