About the Author

Michael McCarthy is a .NET developer with almost 20 years of experience building web-based, business applications. He’s worked in the loan industry, the financial industry, and the pharmaceutical industry. He currently works as a Senior C# Developer at ALMAC, where he just finished a two year, green-field project re-write of their clinical trial software using SOA, DDD, MVC, and TDD.

Over the past five years, he’s switched his efforts from “n-tier” development to utilizing an SOA-based, asynchronous, durable approach to building business software powered by NServiceBus. In those years, he’s transformed into a TDD advocate, has embraced the SOLID principles, and has come to rely on FakeItEasy for its ease of use and flexible API while writing his unit tests.

He lives in Philadelphia with his lovely wife Jessica, and enjoys cooking, playing guitar, and keeping up-to-date on all things SOA, DDD, and TDD.
