I am an Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Technology specialist for the Heartland District providing expertise on the Visual Studio Team System and Team Foundation Server products. I help customers get the most out of their ALM tools by explaining best practices, installation, and configuration through presentations, workshops, or quick starts. Prior to Microsoft I worked for 16 years as a developer in the IT area of DTE Energy. I have designed and developed many .Net web applications using agile methodologies.
