I build software - lots of it. Mostly I work in the Microsoft stack (.NET, C#), and do both front-end and back-end development work. A typical application for me would be an HTML/JavaScript client that uses AJAX to call WCF REST services running in Windows Azure and using Entity Framework for data access.
Lately my front-end work has focused on straight-up HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I also do ASP.NET MVC and Silverlight. Now and then I build iOS apps and am an enthusiastic newcomer to Rails. My server-side efforts are mostly in .NET and C#: WCF services in IIS, and Windows Azure web/worker roles. I do database design and build the data access layer, typically with an ORM like Entity Framework.
My company is Vertigo Software. We're a long-time Microsoft Partner and do a lot of work for Microsoft and other Fortune 500 clients. I've had some great opportunities here, as part of the Microsoft Windows Intune team, and building the new audio streaming system for Seattle's best radio station, KEXP.
It's hard to stop at 6pm. I always have at least one venture going on in my spare time. Recently, this has included a CTO role for Songflame, where I built a Facebook music-sharing application for online dating. Before that, I partnered with Denis Morozov to write code2plan, an agile project management system for software projects.
Are you doing something cool? Building something big? I'm always interested in startup opportunities. We should talk.
