Red Tempo Software Inc. is the company I founded in 2009 when I quit my job to offer professional software development services to customers far and wide. When I started Red Tempo Software, the first thing I did was get a logo created.

The next thing I did was create a snazzy brochure website that had pictures of beautiful people sitting in boardrooms looking at charts and graphs, drinking lattes and smiling.

Then I wrote copy that said things like ‘us’ and ‘we’ to make the company look bigger than it is. I think I even had my wife record the voicemail greeting so it looked like I had a secretary. I know, crazy times. That website (that person) doesn’t exist any more and now you are here instead, a simple single page on a personal blog.

Why did you do that?

I did that because I am Red Tempo Software, just little old me. I’m not a big glossy corporation with beautiful smiling people sitting in boardrooms and drinking lattes. I sit in my home office with a nice view of my backyard, a regular coffee, a dog at my feet and crank out code.

So you’re a professional huh?

Although I’ve worked as a professional developer since 1990, I don’t have a lot of artifacts to show you because most of the work I’ve completed has been enterprise and is hidden away behind pesky firewalls, corporate intranets, non disclosure agreements and such. Unfortunately the biggest public facing project I’ve done was a 14 year long side project of providing commercial DNN (DotNetNuke) custom modules through a company I created named DNNStuff which I have just recently retired. The modules do still live on through the gift of open source on my company GitHub repo.

Part of the reason I’ve decided to recently restructure my public face and reboot my blog is to rectify my sorely lacking public work exposure. Please venture over to the articles at your leisure to gain a better understanding about what I’m really like, what I like to do and how I like to do it.

What are you real good at?

The technologies that I’m most accomplished in right now are the following although I’m a fast, eager and lifetime learner of all things.

• Most of the tools in the Microsoft stack (.NET, C#, ASP.NET, SQL Server etc.)
• DNN (DotNetNuke) site and module development using C#, SQL (VB.NET if I must)
• Node based web stack, especially VueJs, FeathersJS, some MongoDB
• Certified Xamarin Developer since 2015
• Source control maven (I don’t start anything without it being in source control somewhere, usually git based)

I’m sold. How can I contact you?
