I’ve been developing software full time since 2003, beginning with languages I’m still embarrassed to mention.

Work

Senior Software Engineer

This year the targets are Azure-hosted services, containerization, and maybe I'll finally use the Angular that I learned in a few tutorials, forgot, relearned in some other tutorials, and then forgot again. Or maybe Blazor. That looks interesting.

I write mostly C#, including a lot of ASP.NET MVC, Web APIs, WCF services, and other stuff. I spent some time writing a lot of JavaScript but that's less frequent. I lean more toward back-end development. I work with SQL Server as needed and I've done a little with Mongo.

I like to write articles. A lot of that involves dependency injection, so as I'm writing I try out ideas with a few different frameworks (Windsor, Autofac, Unity, Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection) to make sure I'm not coupled to any of them.

I'm looking at updating the Money type I published to Nuget (Plasticfloor.Money) to .NET Standard and adapting it to handle random new currencies that appear out of nowhere.

I haven't contributed to open source. I'd like to explore that because there's a bigger world out there full of developers writing great software and I can only learn so much from them by reading their blogs. I'd like to broaden my horizons.
