‘I have collaborated with lots of developers over the years, and Bill is about the best I have worked with so far. I met Bill when I joined a project rather late as a senior .NET developer and was assigned to work with him to help clean up and upgrade a rather ugly codebase that spanned a number of different technologies. As Bill helped me get up to speed, he demonstrated an impressive familiarity with ASP.NET Core development as well as a strong working knowledge of Linux. On top of his technical skill, his patience with non-technical team members and external stakeholders was pretty impressive as well. He was easy to work with and taught me a lot every day - he's like a walking encyclopedia of the Microsoft stack. Bill would be a great asset to any development team - in pretty much any role - and earns my highest recommendation.’

Microsoft Academic

Microsoft Academic understands the meaning of words, it doesn’t just match keywords to content. For example, when you type “Microsoft,” it knows you mean the institution, and shows you papers authored by researchers affiliated with Microsoft. Similarly, Microsoft Academic knows journal titles, conference names, and many research topics. Try these queries to understand the power of semantic search and unleash it yourself!

Cascadian Farm - Serial Scale Database Integration
-
Building a C# library for serial IO communication to an electronic scale and integrating it with an Access database. Building reports and supporting UI. The problem was that the workers who picked fruit in the fields needed to weigh in each basket and keep track of tickets generated by the system for their pay. We introduced some basic integration in the system to allow for easier reporting of workers' output and to facilitate them getting paid in a more efficient way.
