Software Developer Development

I have worked as a full stack software developer with a focus on Microsoft technologies for more than twenty years primarily for start-ups on the West Coast. My technical skills extend across the stack, and my career has included a significant amount of backend and testing work. While technical skills formed the core of my value, I have held leadership roles and am able to act in that capacity. I am at home in a wide variety of organizational models and development methodologies. I am at ease working in a distributed office environment having worked remotely for seven years recently.
