Passion:
Patrick’s passion is taking nothing more then an idea and turning that in a solution that supports a business. Patrick observes that as the industry changes, the more it stays the same. “The tools change and even the technology changes, but the need for people who can architect real solutions and the companies that deliver them will only increase as the world automates lesser tasks.” Patrick’s technical focus is on .NET Security.
