Paul Montgomery is a pragmatic Principal Software Engineer with 8+ years focused on building cloud-connected experiences, primarily on the Microsoft stack, spanning web, desktop, Electron, IoT, and database work. He blends deep hands-on expertise in TypeScript, C#, ASP.NET MVC, Entity Framework, and React with practical systems knowledge—from Azure IoT and Digital Twins to SQL and schemaless stores. At Microsoft he helped shape UX for Azure AI and IoT tooling across Portal, Fabric, CLIs, and client apps, delivering developer- and operator-facing experiences. He has a track record of shipping reliable APIs, build/deployment automation, and tooling that ties hardware to the cloud—summed up on GitHub as “connecting things to clouds.” Known for practical problem solving and a dry sense of humor, he also brings real-world operational instincts from years managing TFS and deployment pipelines. He holds a BS in Industrial Technology and prefers substantive requests on LinkedIn, ignoring boilerplate connection messages.
