Welcome to RAIN (Reliable Array of Independent Nerds) Software Technologies, LLC.
RAIN Software Technologies is headed by nerd Fable Turas, and augmented by some independent nerdy connections.

Conceptually, the idea behind RAIN is for the cadre of nerds with diverse skills to comprise a “one-stop-shopping” experience for clients seeking development work.
Fable Turas, Head Nerd 
My best is always pushed to be a little better.
I’m a Software Engineer: a full stack developer with high personal accountability for outcomes and leadership ability. Adept at writing clean, dry, organized code. Excited by the prospect of new problems to solve and new technologies to learn. I never reject a better solution that brings about more efficiency or a cleaner resolution.
