ABOUT ME
I have many years building products, I love coding, and helping others
I have many years building products, I love coding, and helping others

I am a seasoned technologist with 25 years+ of experience in the technology industry and have built some great teams and products at Microsoft, Splunk, Auth0, DocuSign, and more.

I have strong experience building backends and services in particular with C# and nodejs. I have many years of cloud computing experience and have worked extensively with Azure and AWS. I am an expert in API development and lead the development of Microsoft's Web API platform. I am also a big supporter of open source and maintained and led several popular OSS projects.

I am also a published author and have been published with OReilly (https://www.amazon.com/Designing-Evolvable-Web-APIs-ASP-NET/dp/1449337716/ref=sr_1_1) and built training for developers on LinkedIn and Pluralsight.

Most of all I love coding and sharing my experience with others to help them succeed

I have built many services and tools in NodeJS at Microsoft, Splunk, Auth0, and DocuSign. I built the first prototypes for deploying NodeJS apps in Azure, and ran the effort to make Node on Azure development possible.

Glenn has a wealth of experience and is very helpful. I found Glenn to be very knowledgeable, great at walking around the subjects complexity. Ensures he explains in logical detail. Great at breaking down processes, clearly explaining the whys and where’s. Methodical in resolving the problems.

I have used Glenn's services twice: my first review is missing. Both are 5 stars. He is an experienced, understanding and helpful mentor. I highly recommend him to others.

Words fail me. My conclusion after Glenn worked on a project for me is that he is a super star programmer. He goes where no one dares to go, and can do what seems like the impossible. Highly recommend!!
