Good software
needs to solve real business problems. That’s Rob’s
philosophy, which has guided him from the early days of
his career through the .com explosion and beyond. Rob
has consulted on Microsoft technologies for over 10 years
and began developing on the .NET framework when the pre-beta
bits were first released to the public. “I love
the gratification of designing and building something
that never existed before,” says Rob, who is an
active contributor to user groups in the Phoenix area
and has presented at over 50 events including Dev Days
and the original .NET launch. Rob has developed various
applications for customers ranging from local companies
to Fortune 500 firms. Rob claims that he was developing
AJAX applications before AJAX was AJAX. In 1998, he co-architected
and developed a browser-based front-end for OLAP using
XML/HTTP when both IE5.0 and SQL Server 7.0 were still
in Beta. Few people know that Rob also has a Masters degree
in International Finance from Thunderbird, The American
Graduate School of International Management.
