Dan Madoni

A Managing Partner of Sequoia Services Group, Dan is an ex- Microsoft Program Manager who has the distinction of having his work included in shipped product versions of MS Tools.  To date he has delivered important applications in a variety of languages, including Java, C++ , C#, VB.NET , VB  and Ruby. As a consummate software engineer there does not seem to be a language syntax or programmers tool that Dan cannot conquer in very short order. He has created shrink-wrap retail products that compete at the level of MS Access, has produced XML translation engines before BizTalk was thought of and participated in very large scale enterprise projects such as the central loan processing engine at GMAC. Dan possesses a unique ability to produce elegant yet simple code. This ability also enables him to architect superior and maintainable solutions to often complex business problems.  Anyone can solve a problem in thousands of lines of code - Dan will typically solve it with very little, extremely elegant code which reflects an extraordinary amount of architecture, thought and design.
