Currently using Backbone.js to provide SPA-like functionality to our web based application.  Using Backbone models for data access, and Backbone views for rendering portions of the UI.  I've had to dig into the Backbone code to troubleshoot compatibility issues during an upgrade.

Currently using git hosted on bitbucket for version control.  I set up our repositories and branches.  I wrote some scripts that automate our merging & tagging process.

I use jQuery 1.8.x for DOM manipulation and eventing.  I've written a couple of simple jQuery plugins.

C# is my preferred .NET language.  I think it's a productive language and find it very expressive.  I've written a wide variety of applications in C#.  I am familiar with unit testing C# code, writing build scripts to automate cumbersome tasks, and probably every C# language feature through C# 5.0.  I've also had the misfortune to interact with COM.

My current project is about 50% C#, 40% JavaScript, and 10% HTML/CSS.  The client-side code calls services for data and handles all the UI manipulation.  I'm integrating a number of libraries like jQuery, Backbone.js, RequireJS, and underscore.
