I am a senior software architect and team lead.

As software architect, I specialize in Service-Oriented Architectures, Data-Centric Architectures, large scale (million-user) web sites and 99.999% availability financial software.

As team lead I am a strong advocate of agile software development and I specialize in Scrum, eXtreme Programming and TDD—with successful experience in both friendly and hostile environments.

In my spare time I moderate the Skeptics StackExchange community and I maintain some open source software which you can find on my GitHub page.

Finally, I maintain the SixPack open-source library available here, which is a set of classes that allow you to write enterprise-level code very quickly, while taking complex crap off your plate.

Think of it as "boost" for C#—it takes care of object-level caching (both lazy and pre-fetching), it has logging, it has a very good StoredProcedure class and about ~100 other goodies.
