I'm an experienced developer in the New York Area.

I've been programming in VB6 since 2002; in C# since 2005, and for the web since 2007.

I primarily use C# with ASP.Net MVC (for web) and DevExpress (for WinForms), and Javascript, jQuery, CSS, and LESS for web client development. I also know Java (although I don't like it) and C++ (although I've never written any code in it), and I'm familiar with Python and Ruby.

I haven't found the time to learn any functional programming languages; I make up for that by writing functional-style code in C# using LINQ and lambda expressions.

I'm SLaks on StackOverflow. I enjoy teaching others to understand programming concepts, and StackOverflow has given me the perfect place to do that. I've risen to the top ten users.

I also had a brief stint with being a moderator, but I found my time better spent answering questions than resolving disputes.

I'm @Schabse on Twitter (SLaks was already taken). Follow me for my opinions on tech & development

I contribute to the open-source world as SLaks on GitHub.
