DevExpress MVPs

Need some help? I am the guy for the job! I have been developing critical applications across a diverse range of industries for more than 30 years. I have more than 20 years experience developing ASP.NET applications from start to finish. I am a seasoned Solutions Architect. I have expert data modeling and business analysis skills that can solve the toughest problems!

I have spent the past two and a half years deep diving into Microsoft Blazor, and I use my DxExperience subscription to leverage DevExpress’s quality Blazor tools to build line of business applications that simply work! Working with DevExpress and Blazor has made development fun, and I have been using DevExpress tools in one form or another since 2001. Whoa, that goes back a bit!

I am also a former IronSpeed Designer MVP and have oodles of experience with code generation tools.

Education wise I have a Masters in Information Systems from Athabasca University.

Got stuck in your project? Unsure of the best strategy to proceed? I can help you. My first dev job came at the age of 16 (COBOL on a Unix mainframe), I graduated from university in Munich (TUM), I am a former Microsoft MVP for Windows API and C++, and I have assimilated a ridiculously wide range of technologies, platforms and tools. You might ask how I came to find DevExpress? It started more than a decade ago with the WinForms XtraGrid. I consider it the best data grid control on the planet, the others don’t come close. Over the years I have gained a lot of experience in moderate to extreme customizations of various DevExpress controls, making them behave and display data in ways that go far beyond the norm.

Jose is a Master of Electrical Engineering turned .NET Developer/Architect. Big DevOps advocate and Xamarin Certified. Jose spends most of his time on training, consulting and development of Azure based solutions for enterprise customers. Passionate about performance, data access, application design and DevExpress products, specially XAF and XPO. There is no project where he does not include XAF in one way or another. From mobile, windows to web applications his goal is to have XPO and XAF security everywhere. He is also a tech speaker, blogger and is always pushing to grow the community. Blazor is his new crush.

My experience with the DevExpress Frameworks has grown as they have developed as products. I have been using XAF and XPO from the day they were released, which means I began with XPO way back in 2005. Before becoming an independent consultant, one of the last tasks I had as a lead developer in the company I was working for, was to evaluate frameworks to create a unified ERP. I was already using the DevExpress products and when XAF was released, I fell in love! I also continue to be a big XPO advocate and use it exclusively in all my projects, from ASP.Net MVC, ASP.Net Core to Xamarin and lately UNO platform.

Dave is the founder of Llamachant Technology Ltd. He provides XAF training and custom development services, based out of Ontario, Canada. He started his development career creating medical imaging and practice management software and has since started consulting in a variety of different markets with clients from around the world. Dave started using XAF the day it was released and is very knowledgeable in both XAF and XPO. Based on the amazing quality of DevExpress products and their consistent level of support, he has been eager to contribute to the DevExpress community.

Adam is based out of Ontario, Canada and has been using XAF since its original release in 2007. As a member of the Llamachant Technology team, he is actively involved in projects with clients all over the world. With a thorough knowledge of XAF and XPO, he is a great resource to help get your solutions from concept to production.

I graduated from the New Jersey Institute of Technology in 1988, earning a degree in Computer Engineering. For the majority of my professional career I have designed and developed software solutions for the health care industry, including such specialties as home health, HME, pharmaceuticals, and ophthalmology. Recent endeavors have included work flow management and document imaging solutions. After 25 years in the industry I thought it was time for a change; I now work full time for a leading provider of software solutions targeting the world's financial market.

Through the years I've gained experience in an assortment of programming languages including BASIC, PowerBuilder, C/C++, Delphi, C# and Oxygene. I consider myself a Delphi developer first and foremost; my experiences include Object Pascal coding, application framework design, custom component creation, multi-tier implementations and IDE extension development. It is the latter, specifically my work writing plug-ins for CodeRush, that first drew me to Developer Express' DX-Squad. Writing custom plug-ins to extend the Delphi IDE, helping fellow CodeRush users, and hosting a website to provide a centralized repository for community plug-ins became a passion of mine.

I've been developing desktop software applications for Windows since 2000. The first professional development environment I cut my teeth on was Delphi 5, and I’ve been using Delphi since.

Beginning in 2002, I started specializing in developing web services, generally backed by a SQL Server database, along with desktop and web based web service clients. I began developing for ASP.NET in 2003, and began working with the rest of the .NET framework in earnest in 2007. In 2010 I started developing for multiple platforms including Mac OS X, iOS, and Windows Phone 7.

I've been a professional .NET developer (C# preferred) for about 10 years and I've been employed by Logistic Dynamics, Inc. in Buffalo, New York since 2005. I'm responsible for developing all of their desktop and web applications which are used by about 50 offices across North America. I have a BS degree in Management Information Science from Canisus College and in my spare time I enjoy watching hockey, movies, live music, and playing the guitar.

As a professional .NET developer, I have worked with some of Australia's largest organisations designing, testing and deploying a range of applications, websites and web applications to meet various outcomes. I have been developing for just over 20 years and enjoy coding with C#. As a developer and owner of a development business, productivity is important to me and the decision to start using DX controls 8 years ago has proven to be one of the best operational choices I have ever made. The controls provide a terrific set of options to solve complex business requirements whilst delivering applications of a high standard and consistent look and feel.

I am very passionate about the range of DevExpress products and with helping others understand the value these libraries add to any organisation or developer.

I live in Brisbane, Australia with my beautiful wife Debbie and 2 children. In my spare time, I love a game of golf, watching a movie or just relaxing to some music.
