Senior Software Developer

Worked in Microsoft Azure, SQL Server, and Bing and was consistently a strong driver for excellence, agile practices, test-driven development (TDD), and a loosely-coupled functional architecture. Developer on several key Microsoft web platforms including the Microsoft Azure management portal (https://manage.windowsazure.com/), the Microsoft Azure Marketplace (https:// azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/), and the Bing Ads publishing platform (https:// advertise.bingads.microsoft.com/). Managed the content onboarding team for Microsoft Azure Marketplace and helped drive its release cycle from three months down to one-week intervals. Performed source control and build migrations to Git for the Microsoft Azure Portal team, and before that to TFS for SQL Information Systems and Bing Ads teams. Received a gold start award for the development of an integrated Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server (TFS) integrated precheckin validation system for Bing Ads. Developed a NuGet like concept (before NuGet existed) for component distribution within Bing Ads to share build outputs across teams. It allowed teams to decouple releases, speed up builds, and enabled faster and more agile software development.

Information Analyst

I started C# and .NET development when it was first released in 2002 and have been developing with it ever since. In 2007 I was assimilated into the Microsoft collective (that's a reference for the Star Trek fans out there :-) where I 'sharpened' my skills much more. I enjoy providing suggestions to make code more functional and better factored for reuse.

JavaScript is a funny language. Some love it, some hate it. There many places where JavaScript is used from embedded to mobile to web app client and server and there are nearly as many frameworks/libraries as there are developers. There is a huge disparity in the skills of its users from people just starting out to hardened developers. Getting the most out of this language means navigating the sea of possibilities and staying focused on the 'good parts'. Let me guide you toward a 'love it' relationship with JavaScript by helping you leverage the functional essence of JavaScript.
