Scott Hurlbert ([masked])
Scott has been working as a .NET developer since 2004. He studied Electrical Engineering in college, but before he could graduate, the pull of an emerging computer industry drew him into the workforce. However, the love of engineering and the importance of analysis have fueled his desire for design and architecture in software. Currently, Scott works for AKQA (a digital ad agency) as Technical Architect on theie .NET team. AKQA projects tend to be small, innovative web or mobile apps which are built quickly - a welcome break from the enterprise level applications Scott worked on in the mid-2000s that often included deployment cycles over a year in length. Small projects have their own challenges which make Scott's work exciting. Azure and the .NET framework are great tools for quick, lean, web project development.

 

After 6:00 p.m., please enter through the main Microsoft entrance (835 Market Street) and the security guard will provide access to the 7th Floor.
