I'm a software developer, a speaker, an author and all around nerd. Currently working as a Principal Consultant at UXC Professional Solutions in the Information Management Practice. I've been developing software as a hobby from a young age, and professionally since 1997. I'm the co-author of the "Developing Windows Azure and Web Services" Microsoft official course (20487), Pro Couchbase Server, and have contributed to official Microsoft training materials on Windows Azure, Windows 2008 R2 HPC Server and HDInsight (Hadoop) over the years.
