ASP.NET MVP John V. Petersen Joins Neudesic

I'm pleased to announce that John V. Petersen has recently joined Neudesic as Regional Practice Director of App Dev for our Mid-Atlantic region.

John is an ASP.NET MVP. To quote from the Microsoft MVP web site:

"John has been developing software for 20 years. From 1995-2001, he was a Visual FoxPro MVP. Today, John is an ASP .NET MVP and a member of ASPInsiders. He is a developer/committer on the NerdDinner and nDBUnit Projects. John is a frequent speaker at code camps, user groups and conferences. John is also a frequent contributor to Code Magazine and has authored several books including the Absolute Beginner's Guide to Databases from Que Publishing. John  earned an MBA from St. Joseph's University and a JD from the Rutgers University School of Law in Camden."

John is of course very involved in web development and ASP.NET, but his interests don't end there: He's also passionate about ALM with Visual Studio; Windows Azure; and Windows 8.

As part of our practice leadership team, John's back-end web expertise complements well our other MVPs and subject matter experts who provide practice-wide guidance and support. Neudesic combines multiple disciplines to create Modern Apps that span from the hand-held device to the cloud.

I’m very pleased to announce that Michael S. Collier has joined Neudesic in a national architect role. Like myself, Michael is a charter member of the Windows Azure MVP program and that’s what he’ll be focusing on, Windows Azure.

Michael has been highly involved in community and evangelism. He founded the Central Ohio Cloud Computing User Group (COCCUG) and has participated in both local and national conferences and events, including CodeMash and Cloud Connections.
