JamesFaix

Software Developer

United States

I am a professional developer, but I really create software because it's fun. I've always been interested in deconstructing complex systems, and software engineering has proven to be an inexhaustable supersystem of such systems. In the past I've also spent time focusing on music composition, audio engineering, electronics, game design, history, and philosophy.

My strongest languages are English and C#, in fact I'm a Microsoft Certified Professional for "Programming in C#". I do not have any certifications for English, so please trust me there. I've spent a lot of time working on Windows desktop applications, particularly for interacting with SQL Server or automating Microsoft Office programs, using technologies such as C#, VB.NET, VBA, T-SQL, WinForms, WPF, ADO.NET, the MS Office PIA's, ExcelDNA, EPPlus, and Crystal Reports. I've also done some web development using JavaScript, HTML, CSS, TypeScript, ASP.NET, WCF, jQuery, and requirejs. I am very interested in functional programming (F#, Haskell, Clojure), and try to use C# and JavaScript in a "functional" way at times, but I haven't had the opportunity to use a functional language for a serious project yet.
