thinktecture's consultants are deeply technical experts with a dash of great communication skills to explain technologies and to guide architects and developers during their day-to-day work. Every thinktect is extremely well connected with the respective product teams in Redmond (currently, a large number of us are Microsoft developer MVPs and three are Microsoft Regional Directors - two awards given out by Microsoft to only a few dozen people on each continent.) and the resulting formal and informal direct communication links with Microsoft's engineers is something which will directly benefit your projects.

Our Experts Are

Ingo Rammer - Co-founder of thinktecture, distributed application expert (technologies around WCF, WF, ASMX, MSMQ, Remoting) with a knack for optimizing scalability and performance of medium to large applications, Microsoft MVP for Solutions Architecture and Microsoft Regional Director for Austria

Christian Weyer - Co-founder of thinktecture who has worked with Web Services for longer than he dares to admit, working daily with WCF, WF, other .NET 3.0/3.5 parts as well as ASMX and MSMQ. Mastermind behind our noted WSCF tool for Web Services Contract First development. Microsoft MVP for Connected Systems and independent Microsoft Regional Director for Germany.

Dominick Baier - thinktecture's resident security expert who was a penetration tester and certified security auditor in his previous life. ASP.NET, IIS6/7, WCF and Federation technologies like Windows CardSpace are his current home. And yes, he's also a Microsoft MVP - for Security.

Christian Nagel - He has been around on the Windows platform longer than anyone else in thinktecture. When it comes to taming C++, .NET<->COM interoperability and P/Invoke, he is the one we can rely on. But just as well, he can switch gears and teach C# to developers totally new to the Microsoft platform and gets them up to speed in no time. He is MVP and Microsoft Regional Director for Austria.

Jörg Neumann - Jörg is master for UI technologies like WPF, Silverlight and Windows Forms. In addition to the technical aspects, he always has an eye for design and usability.
Another key area of the Northern German guy is the implementation and optimization of SQL Server databases.

Richard Blewett - He is British, but other than that he is a really nice and very knowledgeable guy. His experience in building distributed systems and his fascination in the inherent complexity in large distributed systems makes him a perfect fit for the thinktecture team.

Oliver Sturm - Oliver is German but lives in Scotland - a cool guy. Training is one of his specialties and he's written and taught many classes on programming topics in the past 15 years. He is a Microsoft C# MVP and author of many articles for magazines and online publications. Oliver is well known as a speaker at conferences and community events around Europe.
