As a Principal Technical Consultant and Architecture at EQengineered, I help enterprises modernize, develop resilience, and adapt to the changing digital marketplace. With 30 years of experience in designing, developing, and delivering enterprise-grade bespoke software solutions, I apply ever-new Microsoft tools and technologies, such as .NET, Azure for web, desktop, mobile, and embedded platforms. I specialize in technical coaching, agile application development, and cloud applications, and I have worked with clients across various industries, such as financial services, retail, supply chain management, technology partners, hardware manufacturers, and healthcare.

I am also a Microsoft MVP in Developer Technologies, an author of a book on technology and artificial intelligence, and a speaker and community leader in the software industry. I am passionate about sharing experience and expertise to help others, and I volunteer as a community CTO, event organizer, mentor, and presenter for various software development events and meetups. I enjoy collaborating with Microsoft's product development teams and helping clients and peers make better informed choices and achieve their goals. I believe in the power of expertise, experience, and EQ to level up the software profession.
