About the author

I am a junior-level C# .NET developer living in Nashville, TN.  I'm currently working in biomedical informatics, developing a web service, a MySql database, and a web application.  Every week or so, I spend hours trying to figure out how to do something, and after I find the solution, I really want to make sure I don't go through that exercise again.  I love to write.  It helps me to remember things.  So, I use this blog as a way to document those painful lessons as I learn them.  It has already helped me to be able to refer back to them.  I hope some of these will save someone else some time as well.
