I feel that the .NET framework is the best in the world and can solve most any software issue.

I work with corporate departments of all kinds. The industry that I'm currently employed is heavily regulated and interaction to the Compliance and Legal departments is a major portion of my specification gathering and application building.

I have been given a new directive for focus on the mobile platform (Mac, Windows Mobile, ...) and hope to sharpen my skills in this arena.
