Husband | Father | Entrepreneur | Problem Solver | Great Listener
For over 21 years I have been a self employed software engineer. I work with my clients to take their ideas from conception all the way to final delivery. I have started three businesses which provides me the unique opportunity to see things from both the business and development perspectives.
I love discovering how things work and I'm excited to share my discoveries with you.
I am patient with everyone around me and enjoy coming up with ways to explain things in an easy to understand way.

Everyday I strive to be a better software engineer. I believe we are craftsmen working to improve our craft. Applying SOLID design principles and understanding the reasoning behind the will help you to craft clean, elegant, readable code. I am excited to share what I know with you as we both learn and grow.

When I think about Data structures it reminds me of what I love about coding. We get to create a world in our imaginations and populate that world with the objects we create. In my mind, Data structures are the mechanisms we can use to add structure to our created world. If you need a backpack to hold the objects you create, you can create a Data structure which behaves like a backpack to hold things. We can create our own Data structures and we will also find that our programming language has a lot of them built in which we can learn how to use without reinventing the wheel.

I had always been interested in Test driven development and finally decided to take the plunge. For me, unit testing tended to be an afterthought. I knew I should be testing early but didn't want to slow down to do it. Once I understood how the unit tests could help me in my development almost like a check list of all the things I needed my code to do, it started to make sense to me. With unit tests in place, I can now make changes to code without fear :) I look forward to teaching you what I have learned during my journey with Test driven development.

I am very excited about Blazor. People are calling it a game changer. It gives us the best of both worlds. We can use C# to build both the front and backends of a web application. The other huge thing is that it is very fast. I am already working on Blazor projects with 4 of my mentors and continuing to learn as much as I can. I would welcome the opportunity to work with you and share what I have learned.

Learning Typescript really changed how I architect my client side code. I can now treat my Javascript code the same way I do my C# code. I now get all the benefits of an object oriented language like classes, inheritance and compile time errors.

I first began working with Winforms about 13 years ago. My client wanted to develop a desktop application a major health care provider could use to track grievances and appeals. We discussed his vision for the application and I went and purchased my first books on Winforms to start prototyping. Over a number of months, we developed a powerful desktop application he was able to license to health care providers. I really enjoy working with Winforms even now and will use those experiences to drive WPF and UDP knowledge and development.

I have really enjoyed developing Winform based applications for many years but when I start a new desktop application now my goto is WPF. With WPF my applications can scale correctly for today's high resolution monitors and I can create cleanly separated architecture using the MVVM design pattern.

I started ThompsonDesign directly out of college. I was able to build my clientele by word of mouth. I would develop print media, business cards, brochures, signage and website mockups for my clients. It was my first business and a great opportunity to learn how to be an entrepreneur.

In 2000 I went to a local hotel in my area and asked them if I could print out a map and information they could hand out to their guests which would be funded by advertisers. They agreed and wanted me to produce another round of handouts. I decided I wanted to provide the same service but this time electronically. I started looking for touch screen monitors, thermal printers, cpus and cabinets. I developed an application which allowed a hotel guest to find things to do in town and places to eat. They could print out a coupon and use the handset to automatically dial the establishments to make reservations or ask questions. I created services which would synchronize the local database with the database on my server each night. It was a great opportunity to learn many new technologies.
