The Blog

I've been writing software on the Microsoft platform since 1998. Today, I develop web and desktop applications using Microsoft .NET (C#, preferably). By day, I consult on the Microsoft Office platform and focus on Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server development with .NET. In my spare time, I intensely dabble with Microsoft's Windows Presentation Foundation and Silverlight - and once in a while try and squeeze those technologies into my day job :)
