I'm a Senior Consultant and the Lead SharePoint Architect at i3solutions, Inc. in Sterling, VA and have been working as a software architect and programmer for over 17 years. For the last Three years I've been focused on leveraging my design and development skills to solve customer's business challenges in SharePoint as well as managing Large implementations with user counts in excess of 100,000.

I cut my teeth back in the early 90s working as a Clipper programmer and designing turn-key database applications and servers that ran on Novell Netware. As technology advanced I migrated into working with FoxBase, then FoxPro, and eventually moving into the Windows Application development environment in the mid 90s using Visual FoxPro. I absolutely loved that development platform but it lost ground in the industry quickly with the advances in Visual Basic, ADO and then the .NET Framework. While not entirely portable there's no replacing first class data in a programming language. :)
