Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoe McBride is a Software Architect with 13+ years of experience designing and shipping full-stack .NET systems and front-end UIs from Henderson, Nevada. He blends deep C# and backend expertise—contributing notable fixes and features to GraphQL.NET and FubuMVC—with practical front-end work on projects like react-scroll, improving modularity and scroll-spy behavior. A former Silverlight Insider and technical editor, Joe frequently speaks on design patterns and Agile methods and has run a developer blog since 2004, reflecting a long-running commitment to craft and community. He has a track record of improving framework reliability and interoperability (routing, WebSocket middleware, MIME support, correlation IDs) and is comfortable moving between architecture-level decisions and hands-on bug fixes. An early hobbyist who automated MUD characters in high school, he still channels that playful curiosity into pragmatic automation and tooling.
