Aaron King is a Senior Software Engineer and solution architect with 10+ years building enterprise web applications across the Microsoft stack, currently driving enhancements at Sage. He blends full-stack development, DevOps and architecture work—frequently using C#, .NET (4.8 and Core/.NET 6), SQL and modern front-end frameworks—to deliver scalable, high-quality systems for clients ranging from legal firms to global brands. Aaron has led consulting engagements, mentored teams, and developed reusable patterns and toolsets as a principal Sitefinity consultant, showing a strong knack for turning client needs into practical architectures. He’s comfortable across cloud platforms and automation (Azure Functions, Cognitive Services, CI/CD) and has repeatedly improved performance and user-facing features on high-traffic sites. Based in Noblesville, Indiana, he’s known for pragmatic engineering and mentoring, and — not obvious from his resume — he’s as likely to be in a hoodie cracking a dad joke as he is debugging production issues.

ORMs… can’t live with ‘em, can’t kill ‘em. Object-relational mappers enable developers to work with relational databases like Microsoft SQL using the languages they know and love. Sometimes that means that the developers don’t know the underlying queries and statements being sent to the database. This doesn’t mean that the developers don’t love SQL. It just means that they don’t know it yet. In this session, we’ll look at the latest builds of Microsoft’s Entity Framework and see what programming tools developers use to work with SQL databases. We’ll also take a look at Sequelize. Sequelize is an open source ORM written in JavaScript for Node.js. We’ll take a look at code first development, advanced querying techniques, connecting to existing databases and migrations. We’ll also take a look at lazy and eager loading techniques. We’ll take a look at these two ORM’s from the eyes of the developer and the DBA.
