Dan Rigsby’s Summary

Software Architect, Engineer, Manager, Speaker, Blogger

I am primarily a software architect and engineer. As team lead the majority of my time seems to be pulled between managmenet and mentoring. I do enjoy all of these tasks, but I pride the time I can spend arcitecting and laying the foundation for what the team will be working on in the future. I have been in the industry for over 9 years and have been using .Net and C# since Early 2002. I have focused in database work in the past, but my focus today is more in distributed application development and application frameworks. As a certified ScrumMaster and ISO Auditor I am always looking for continued process improvement. This includes continuous integration, coding standards, unit testing, build processes, etc.

I have been heavily involved in the professional .Net community for several years. As Logistics Director for the Indianapolis .Net User's Group, I do a lot to ensure that the organization continues to have great speakers and high attendance. I also regularaly present at users's groups both in and out of state over topics of .Net and development. My blog provides my greatest avenue of community outreach (www.danrigsby.com). And I am a moderator and active contributor of the Microsoft MSDN message boards. I am always eager to help out in the community and help others learn.
