Professional Snapshot

I've been working as a Software Engineer for over 10 years focusing mainly on Microsoft technologies. Although I've worked more with back-end services and databases, I'm no stranger to working with front-end technologies (as you can tell by this site).

I enjoy working in every aspect of the project lifecycle: gathering requirements, defining user stories, overall architecture, developing and testing.

I'm Microsoft certified (probably the person in my family with most MSFT Certifications - and most likely the only one as well), Team player, Agile enthusiast & I like to stay up-to-date with modern technologies.

Staying Current

It seems like every other week there's a new Programming language, Technology, Framework, JS Library, API, etc... coming out.

It's tough trying to keep up-to-date with everything that's out there.

Luckily there are quite a few good websites / blogs that I follow or turn to, to learn.

Here are a few of the sites & blogs I personally use the most:


MSDN
A great resource for any .NET Developer.

Code Project
You can find an example / demo of almost anything (techy related) here.

Stack Overflow
Having trouble with that pesky bug? Try your luck here for an answer.

SQL Authority
Pinal Dave needs no introduction to any Dev who's worked in SQL.

Pluralsight
One of the biggest names in Online Training - you'll find some really great courses.

Udemy
Don't want to pay a monthly / annual subscription for Online Training? Then just pay for a specific course.

YouTube
That's right, YouTube! I know it's great for watching videos of dogs on skateboards but you can also find some IT related videos.





Website

This website was developed using solely front-end technologies. Have you noticed it's responsive?

Wondering how I built it? Angular and a lot of YouTube videos.


Bootstrap
The most popular HTML, CSS, and JS framework for developing responsive, mobile first projects on the web.

Animate.js
A bunch of cool, fun, and cross-browser animations for you to use in your projects.

Wow.js
JS library that reveals animations when you scroll. Works well with Animate.css. Easily customize animation settings: style, delay, length, offset, iterations.

Font Awesome
Gives you scalable vector icons that can instantly be customized — size, color, drop shadow, and anything that can be done with the power of CSS.

Visual Studio Code
Perfect lightweight code editor for developing & debugging modern web applications.

Google Firebase
Firebase came in super handy so I could deploy / host this website "on the line" with ease.
