Software Engineer • Architect • Microsoft Azure Expert
About Me
I am a software engineer, architect and consultant passionate about building software that solves real-world problems.
Professional Expertise
I focus my career and skills on Microsoft technologies, with an emphasis on Web and Cloud development. I specialize in Azure cloud solutions, DevOps practices, and modern web application development using .NET and C#.
Personal Interests
I'm a native of Utah and enjoy the outdoors: camping, hiking, hammocking, and barbecuing. I am also a licensed Ham Radio Operator (Call Sign: KD7OIY), practicing the hobby since 2001.
Featured Projects
Here are some of my notable open-source projects that demonstrate my expertise in Microsoft technologies and cloud development.
NotebookDB
An open-source, free, simple CRM/XRM records management system designed to meet general business needs without the complexity of larger enterprise solutions.
BlazorSpinner
A loading spinner component for Blazor applications with a simple service that can be called to show or hide the spinner during long-running operations.
Certifications
I have earned several certifications from Microsoft. I earned my first certifications in 2013 (Programming in C# and Microsoft Certified Professional). Since 2021 I have earned/renewed several Azure certifications. Certifications are great because they enable one to demonstrate their knowledge. The latest certification I earned had an interesting addition: there was a lab/simulation section of the exam where I had to demonstrate hands-on skills (it was very cool).

Applied Skills
Applied Skill Credentials from Microsoft are really cool. To earn the credential, you complete the training material from Microsoft, and then you need to successfully complete a 2-hour lab where you actually create/manage resources in Azure. It is a great resource for building skills and demonstrating abilities.
