About the Reviewers

Chad McCallum is a Saskatchewan computer geek with a passion for software development. He has over 10 years of .NET experience (and 2 years of PHP, but we won't talk about that). After graduating from SIAST Kelsey Campus, he picked up freelance PHP contracting work until he could pester iQmetrix to give him a job, which he's hung onto for the last 10 years. He's come back to his roots in Regina and started HackREGINA, a local hackathon organization aimed at strengthening the developer community while coding and drinking beer. His current focus is mastering the art of multitenant e-commerce with .NET. Between his obsession with board gaming and random app ideas, he tries to learn a new technology every week.
