Ty Anderson
Add-in Express Technical Evangelist
Well hello everyone! As a recent addition to the Add-in Express team, I thought I should introduce myself.
I am Ty Anderson and I represent the North American contingent at Add-in Express. Even further to the point, I add a little Texas accent.
I have been building and writing about Microsoft Office-based solutions for over 15 years. I am excited to be part of the team helping to spread the good word of using Add-in Express to build compelling Office add-ins.
In addition to my work here, I build add-ins and other solutions for my clients. I host a blog at www.OfficeDeveloper.net where I do my best to offer opinions related to Microsoft Office development topics as well as aggregate Office developer-related news.
My technical skills
- Programming languages: C#, VB.NET, VBA
- Technologies: Office, SharePoint, SQL Server, Visual Studio Extensibility
- DBMS: SQL Server (all of them)
Out of work occupations and hobbies:
Cycling & Tennis
