I have more than 35 years experience designing and developing software. I've worked in a range of scientific disciplines, including rocket and space science.

My previous projects have included developing attitude measurement software that's flown to Mars three times, to the Moon, and to a comet and back. I've written simulators for large satellite constellations and complex rocket trajectory scenarios, and I've done mission planning for a number of interplanetary probes.

I worked for Microsoft as a Solutions Architect, and have used ASP.NET, C# and SQL Server on a number of large projects. Creating fast and scalable software is a passion of mine. In 2009, I wrote a book called "Ultra-Fast ASP.NET: Build Ultra-Fast websites using ASP.NET and SQL Server."
