We love the brave .NET pioneers out there that have taken the first steps towards something new and amazing. Ranging from a new language, tool or building a community, these two .NET programmers aren’t scared to try explore and discover wonderful new things.
Chris Dengler
Chris is currently the Founder/CEO & CTO of Right Arm Development. He was formerly a Senior Software Design Engineer with Microsoft Corporation and one of the two original architects and developers of what became known as Web Services / SOAP, introduced in .NET, now being used on billions of devices worldwide. Chris’ work is found running in many large corporations and infrastructures commonplace across all industry segments, such as Sony, Verizon, Volkswagen, Trans World Entertainment Corporation, Honeywell, US Airways, Costco, PetSmart, and American Express to name just a few. Chris also created the architecture for Microsoft’s internal “Idea Generation Tool” called “Greenhouse”. The Greenhouse idea was delivered directly to Steve Ballmer and then cultivated through various teams based upon Chris’ architecture and idea. Chris continues to impress.
