About Me…

For the latest on Windows Phone Development, you should follow me on twitter!!!

I’m Atley and I have what you might call a little tech problem.  I am a geek, scratch that I am an ENORMOUS GEEK.  I am the guy in your neighbourhood that makes all the streetlights dim when he turns on all of his computers.   I’ve been a geek since I can remember and I expect, anyday now, to be the subject of an intervention.

I have been a developer for over 15 years.  Right now, I work for Altus Group as a Technical Lead.  We make a couple of large ASP.NET applications and, while I love my work, but when I am not there, I am a huge phone geek.   I tend to be an early adopter of all sorts of technology and always go over the top, much to the dismay of my family and my bank account! I’m a huge gadget freak and always have tons of tech within reach, most of the time quite literally!  I keep at least two fully functioning domains going in my house as well as several different platforms and lots of gadgets.

Aside from being a terminal geek, I am an avid adventurer.  Snowboarding, rappelling, bungie jumping, skydiving, base jumping, mountain/rock/structure climbing…  if it is hard, I want to see if I can do it.

In order to tear me away from the technologies that I surround myself with, something has to be pretty exciting, unique or challenging.  That is why I am a bit of an extreme sports enthusiast.  I love any kind of challenge, the more difficult the better.

I love learning and often forsake everything else to bury myself in a new technology.   I also love to share information, so always feel free to ask me a question, I’m always happy to help!
