Hi 👀

I'm a hobbyist employed as a Cloud Solutions Engineer in Atlanta, GA with a passion for providing end-user support teams with everything they need (and a lot they don't, usually... or that's what I'm told, at least) to dramatically improve their throughput and, primarily, their mental health at work. For example, I built https://aimnow.app/ on a whim right when COVID hit and provided our (unprepared for a shift to remote work) team with a way to not only quickly and easily access the apps, tools, scripts, etc., they needed to do their jobs but also a central location where end-users could be directed for quick access to support resources. 🤠

I've been programming since Visual Studio 2005 (when I was 12-years-old 🤓) so I've been with C# and .NET for nearly 20 years now. The list below contains the languages, frameworks, platforms, etc., that I've learned to love over the years:

  • Language: C# (12.0)
  • Framework: .NET 8
  • Design Pattern: I'm well-versed in MVVM but I'm one of the weird ones that prefers code-behind 🤷‍♂️
  • UI: XAML (familiar with WPF, UWP and─my preference─WinUI 3.)
  • Databases: I prefer Google Cloud Firestore or BigTable but I've worked with:
    • SQL Server
    • SQLite
    • MySQL
    • PostgreSQL
    • Redis (distributed cache but still)
    • Firebase Realtime Database
    • Amazon DocumentDB
    • Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB
    • MongoDB
  • .NET SDKs:
    • I'm very much in love with the Windows App SDK.
  • Scripting: I've dabbled in a few languages but I'm most comfortable with PowerShell.
    • PowerShell 5.1
    • PowerShell 7 💖
    • Command Prompt (.cmd & .bat)
  • Web Development:
    • Although not my preference (not a fan of web development nor their technologies), over the years I've put in my fair share of time with:
    • JavaScript
    • TypeScript
    • Python
    • React
    • Next.js
    • HTML5
    • CSS3
    • BootStrap 5
    • TailwindCSS
    • Node.js
    • Express.js
    • Gulp / Sass
    • ASP.NET / Blazor / whatever Microsoft is going with at this moment
