I'm a programmer/architect and a partner at a small consulting/app development company in Minneapolis. I came into programming via Unix and Perl, but have lived more in a Microsoft environment for the last decade. Lately I've been delving much more into Javascript and Node. T-SQL is probably the language I'm strongest in, but lately I've been semi-consciously doing everything I can to stay out of it (EF Code first, Mongo, working more on client-side features, etc).
