Hello! My name is Chris Deluca and this is a part of myprivate.social space!

Day to day…

Day to day I’m a developer and manager - I currently manage a very small starter team. The company I work for specializes in software for the higher education market, and we are embarking on an endeavor to create a from scratch, cloud native product for this market.

Specialties…

My main background is SQL server and .NET technologies. I spend an inordinate amount of time trying to make Oracle work like a well-oiled oily thing. I came from a Microsoft SQL background and before that I was neck deep in Sybase SQL. These days I’ll play around with just about any database technology, as they all fascinate me. The other half of my specialties is C# in .NET - I’m really loving .NET core these days and the flexibility that comes with running that on just about any platform.

For the leisure hours…

When I’m not doing something with technology, I’m likely studying at my local dojo, Desert Dragon’s Kenpo Karate (in the Ed Parker American Kenpo Karate lineage) where I currently am a third-degree black belt. I’m also studying Balintawak Escrima to round out my martial arts skill sets. Martial arts definitely stress a part of me that isn’t like technology - a part of me finds them relaxing and satisfying and a part of me is frustrated that my body doesn’t do the right thing unquestioningly.

If a page here helped you and you want to buy me a coffee, I absolutely love me a five-shot flat-white - keeps my heart from getting lazy. :)
