Well, if you're here, it means you've
either attended one of my talks, read one of my articles, or have nothing better
to do with your time. In any case, I'm honored you stopped by.
My name is Miguel Castro and I'm a solutions architect specializing in Microsoft
technologies. I've been an independent consultant since 1995 but have been
in the |
 |
|
IT industry since 1986. Believe it or not, I actually got started on Apple
2s, Atari 800s, and TRS-80 machines - the good ole days. |

I've been heavily involved in the Microsoft community since early 2004 and was awarded
Microsoft MVP in 2005. Later that year I was selected to join the INETA Speakers
Bureau and started traveling the country, speaking at user groups. A short
while later I moved into the conferences area and started speaking at VSLive conferences
around the country.
My area of focus is the world of custom Web Server Control development. Many
of my talks and articles are geared toward evangelizing this powerful, yet underused
technology. This has been more of success than I could ever have anticipated.
I've been proud to turn many developers into control developers and enjoy keeping
in touch with many of them, helping then continue their pursuit of this great technology.
This site was designed as my community gateway in order to introduce myself to you
as well as point you in the direction of more information and a lot of great downloads.
This site no longer contains a download section of its own, and instead redirects
you to my company site, www.steelbluesolutions.com. I've posted many free
downloads there, as well as all my user group and conference material, and commercial
products. I urge you to stop by and take a look. |

My personal philosophy
My article contributions, user group talks, and freeware development are all inspired
by the passion I have for what I do for a living. As many spend much of their lives
trying to invent that feeling, I have the good fortune of my work and my hobby being
one in the same. As a consultant in one of the fastest paced industries around,
my training in new technologies and continuing practice of existing ones never stops.
Beginning with the Dungeons & Dragons dice roller I wrote on an old TRS-80 when
I was 12 to all the .NET development I enjoy today, the onslaught of new technologies
has been a welcome challenge and an ever-present part of my life. It is my belief
that loving what you do plays a major role in your ability to excel beyond your
own expectations. It is a passion for technology that is my strategy for success.
