Biography

Summary

I am a enterprise web application developer/architect and technical project manager with sales and entrepreneurial experience, a passion for mentoring and public speaking, and a strong social media presence. I am the author of Designing Silverlight Business Applications and the video series Fundamentals of the Managed Extensibility Framework.

In July 2010 I was honored to receive the Microsoft® Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award for my work with Silverlight. I was recently re-awarded that status for a second year. It has been a joy and a pleasure working with the community to mentor and present the powerful framework I build software on every day.

Professionally I serve as a senior consultant and project manager for Wintellect backed by 15 years of experience developing enterprise applications. I have worked with software in multiple vertical industries including insurance, health and wellness, supply chain management, and mobility. My primary focus for the past decade has been building highly scalable Web-based solutions using the Microsoft technology stack, most recently with a focus on Silverlight and WCF.

Prior to Wintellect, I was director of information technology and served as development manager and architect for AirWatch, LLC, where I helped the company grow and solidify its position as one of the leading wireless technology solution providers in the United States by managing the development of their product portfolio, which includes public HotSpot solutions and a management console for enterprise grade wireless networks, mobile devices, and their consumers.

A fluent Spanish speaker, I served as director of information technology for Hispanicare, where I architected a multilingual content management system for the company's Hispanic-focused online diet program.

I accepted my role there after serving as development manager for Manhattan Associates, a software company that provides supply chain management solutions.
