Welcome
I am a Software Engineer living in Austin, TX and working for The Advisory Board Company. This site is dedicated to all of my software-related endeavors. Feel free to browse the Projects page in order to view or download some things I've worked on!
The majority of my professional experience has centered around Microsoft technologies, notably C# and .NET. Most recently I had been delving into Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) at my previous job in Boston, MA. However, I have made it a point to keep myself involved in other, particularly emerging, technologies in my spare time. Recent pursuits have included Ruby on Rails (used to make this site), and iPhone development (try viewing this site from an iPhone!). During my days at UMass I also worked with Java/J2EE and PHP throughout my studies.
Finally, with the web becoming increasingly dominant from a development perspective, I have also strived to keep up with the world of web design. Clean design processes, in which the programmer's work is separated from the graphic artists work, also intrigue me. I like to keep myself sharp with XHTML/CSS, and create web sites on which real designers, should I ever get to work with them, could easily add artistic flair. View the source of this site and you'll notice that nearly all of the presentation logic resides in style sheets! While I am no graphic designer, I have even attempted to whip together some CSS-based themes for the site. You change your themes by clicking on the links at the bottom of the page.
