David is an independent consultant and instructor for Pluralsight. He has experience developing software for UNIX, Windows, and other platforms using C++, Java, and C#. He has developed large-scale, mission critical applications for government, banking, and manufacturing industries. As an enterprise architect for a Fortune 500 company, he worked on several large international projects. Over the years he has performed the roles of team lead, development manager, and enterprise architect. While performing these roles he was often required to train and mentor team members. He now does that in a more formal way as an instructor with Pluralsight.

David is currently focusing on the .NET platform and is excited about .NET 3.5. Given his background using Tibco, Vitria, and webMethods, it is no surprise that he especially enjoys WCF.
