Master the Managed Azure Mobile Services Backend–Part Four

Working as professional freelancer for the last 5 years. Specialized on and addicted to .NET and a huge fan of Windows Azure from the beginning. Socializing people of all areas, from CEO's to co-workers. Consider myself as a social architect.

Now the proud owner of ExGrip LLC - building mobile cloud experiences. Our latest product "Tap-O-Mizer" is shortly in Beta2. It enables you to see what really needs to be changed in your Windows Phone 8 or Windows 8 app (in real-time, if needed), to ensure customer satisfaction.

Started authorship for "Pluralsight - Hardcore Developer Training" and going to publish the first course on Windows Azure soon.

A few years ago I made a major shift from developer to "devsigner".Focusing my creativity also on great user experiences on Windows, Windows 8 and Windows Phone. Utilizing Expression Design, Expression Blend, Photoshop and Illustrator.

I started developing my first programs on a Commodore C64 (basic and assembly) at the age of fourteen years. Later on an Amiga 500 (C++). After that I made the shift to DOS and Windows from version 3.11 and up.

To me the most important part of developing new experiences is to work with creative and outstanding people and to bring new, exciting ideas to life.

I strongly believe that everyone can be a hero if he/she get's pushed and motivated and valued. Therefore, and that under any circumstances: "People first!"

Specialties:Extremely motivated and pushing people to create results.
