Developer Evangelist at Microsoft. Trying to make working with Microsoft easier for startups in the Silicon Valley. Opinions expressed on Twitter are my own.

For my birthday, let's celebrate in style! Bring your tophats, pocketwatches, canes, and monocles. You're all robber barons tonight! We'll puff on cigars, drink fine scotch whiskeys, and cackle mischievously as we plot and scheme our nefarious devices to control the world. Also, some Monopoly may be played. :)
