Personal Summary

My name is Derik Palacino, I'm a seasoned Microsoft technologies developer and architect. I have firm ethical beliefs on software development gounded in experience. I'm not opposed to standing up and taking responsibility for my solutions, projects or actions and because of that I am very cautious about which projects and solutions that I become involved in. I believe that a person is only as good as their word, so give it often and stand by it ALWAYS! I love a challenege and despise a negative attitude. I understand what drives great developers and what makes a project desireable.

I once had a Director that would intoduce me as a consummate brain-stormer. I thrive on ideas, improvment and change. I believe that if you're going to put your name on something; it had better be something worth losing your name over.
