I have been a professional software developer with experience dating back to 1998. I started working with VBA, then VB6 &#8211; earning my MCSD, on to classic ASP with VBScript, and now C# and the .Net ecosystem. I mostly use Sql Server for back end development (though this blog is hosted using MySql &#8211; hey, I&#8217;m practical).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve worked for banks, hospitals, consulting companies, a small software development company, health care services companies, an enterprise mobile services company, and now for myself.<\/p>\n<p>Technologies that I&#8217;m working with professionally currently include .NET, C#, Git, React.js, JavaScript, Sql Server, Flutter, as well as HTML and CSS (naturally &#8211; I am not a drag-and-drop developer). I&#8217;m also doing contracting work, including a fledgling security practice.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, my blog title is a blatant ripoff of Joel on Software, but I consider it more of an homage!<\/p>\n<p>You can reach me at peter [dot] shearer [at] gmail [dot] com.<\/p>\n<p>I am married, have 3 kids, and live in Ohio.
