I absolutely LOVE developing applications that bring value to people and to businesses. I thrive on challenge and going to new technology stacks. I currently work as a technical director for a large company - it is a blended role, part developer, part architect and part manager. I focus on Application development and software architectures,focusing on integration components and services while also building eCommerce solutions and finding ways to make the systems I build fast and reliable. I build applications in ASP.NET MVC (C#/Razor) with Angular or React on the front end, MS Entity Framework or nHibernate in the middle and a database on the back end (SQL Server/Oracle/Postgres/My SQL). If you were to ask me to pick development or architecture or management as my sole career, I would choose development. Always. I hold certifications in SharePoint, Team Foundation Server and C#. I was awarded Micropsoft Most Valuable Professional in Application Lifecycle Management. For fun I am studying for my CEH and will test this spring. I also am very involved with several local meetups namely the Richmond JS group, the Richmond .NET user group, OffSec-RVA and I founded and run the Innsbrook .NET User group which focuses on bring technology topics to budding software developers.
