author

Hi, I'm Scott Galloway — I'm a consulting web / internet / systems / full-cycle, full-stack developer (it's complicated 🤓) specializing in bringing 'AI' to the masses, .NET Core, full-stack development, cloud, and search technologies. Former Microsoft ASP.NET Program Manager with 30+ years building web applications for Fortune 500 companies and startups. I share my work in progress (PERSONAL!) projects and how I build them. Available for contract, full-time, or consultancy work — get in touch. Code on GitHub | Feedback on Mastodon
