H. Alan Stevens' head shot

About Me

I am a software developer with two decades experience delivering working software. Today, I focus on development in ASP.NET.

I have worked remotely for over ten years. It is important for me to be part of a culture that supports remote work.

I enjoy watching silly YouTube videos with my granddaughter. I host DevBeers, a bi-weekly meetup.
