Subject: C# MVP looking for new opportunities



Greetings! I'm reaching out to my friends, and to software developers I have
met through work or through user groups and conferences. My apologies if I'm
wasting your time, but I'm hoping to find some .NET work.

My current contract through Stout Systems will complete its first phase in
mid-February. This job is good work; but it doesn't give me much opportunity
to use my .NET or UML or Tablet PC skills, so I'm looking to make a change.
I've already let John Stout know I'll be looking for new opportunities; but
I figure it can't hurt to network. I realize that some of you aren't very
involved in the hiring world or even in the tech world, but I figure a wide
net will catch more leads. You might know somebody who's looking, and whom I
might never find on my own.

For those who don't know the details, I am:

* An expert C# developer, and a Microsoft MVP for Visual Development with
C#. (If you're not familiar with the MVP program, see here:
https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx. My MVP listing can be found
here:
https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile=46F40C20-A645-44DE-BBE6-AAB40BD510
9D.)

* An expert Tablet PC developer. Microsoft offers developer training for
enterprise customers planning to build and deploy Tablet PC applications. I
wrote and taught that Tablet PC developer course for them. I've also had a
Tablet PC product for sale for three years, and another ready for release
soon.

* An experienced developer of 22 years now, with an emphasis on analysis and
design.

* An expert designer and design architect, with a particular emphasis on
UML. I have been working with UML and related tools and processes for ten
years.

* An accomplished conference speaker, having spoken to 23 developer
conferences and 40 developer user groups in the past decade. I'm also an
International .NET Association (INETA) speaker. INETA's goal is to send
top-notch .NET developers and speakers to user groups around the world to
help spread .NET development knowledge. You can learn more about INETA here:
http://www.ineta.org <http://www.ineta.org/> .

* An author, including: my first book, UML Applied: A .NET Perspective; my
upcoming second book, Requirements Patterns and Antipatterns; and a
forthcoming article in MSDN magazine.

* An experienced trainer, having written and taught classes on UML analysis
and design, .NET development, and Tablet PC development.

As I said above, this current contract will be fulfilled in mid-February,
with options to continue from there. Because I feel an obligation to John
Stout, I plan to work through that date, and cannot consider any offers that
would start before Feb. 23.

I would prefer to work in the West Michigan area, though I'm an experienced
traveler and can handle jobs with travel requirements. While I will consider
other areas (I certainly have before), that would naturally have to include
a higher rate for travel and living expenses. My preference will be given to
.NET work in West Michigan. The ideal would be Tablet PC work in West
Michigan.

If you know someone who's looking for .NET people, please feel free to
forward this message. You can find an updated version of my resume here:

Thank you for your time.
